What they cost to make has no relevance when they are being sold at a
large event (and a club event isn't even comparable). People get caught
up in the moment and spend large on impulse.

Very relevant, it shows the huge profits that they make on such items.

That's a given, in spades when you're talking a large order for a big
event vs a lousy 130 for some club event.

Sure does, in bigger numbers the cost would be even lower so the mark
ups are huge.
Even taking into account the high cost of doing business at a big event
such as high wages and site fees the amount they make on each item is
still significant.
Very likely the copyright owners of the various logos/trademarks would
take a cut as well so the profits wouldn't all go to the seller.

I've got 3 caps, I didn't pay for any of them, and very rarely wear them
(I still have hair so don't need them :)). I did pay USD40 for a Dallas
Cowboys cap for one of my grandsons, and went mad and paid $300 for a
genuine hand made Panama hat, but that's a rather different thing.

LOL, I've lost count of how many caps I have, must be at least 20, paid
for some, given others.
Apart from lack of hair I also wear glasses and I find that a cap
reduces the sun glare, also helps keep the rain off.

Everyone needs to wear hats, well endowed with hair or bald as a badger.
You see, most sun related skin cancers occur *on the face, neck, arms
and legs. Recall, in most western movies, and in the Aussie outback,
brimmed hats are king! There's a very good reason for that. What's more,
the skin cancer that pops up today was kicked off by sun exposure 40
years earlier. Bit late to take preventative measures then.

yes and the cancer council recommends only brimmed hats, to protect the
ears and face. peaked caps don't protect them. and many/most peaked caps
allow uv rays to pass thru the material. many skin cancers occur on the
sides of the face and ears.

I've got 3 caps, I didn't pay for any of them, and very rarely
wear them (I still have hair so don't need them :)).
Everyone needs to wear hats, well endowed with hair or bald as a
badger. You see, most sun related skin cancers occur *on the face,
neck, arms and legs. Recall, in most western movies, and in the
Aussie outback, brimmed hats are king! There's a very good reason
for that. What's more, the skin cancer that pops up today was
kicked off by sun exposure 40 years earlier. Bit late to take
preventative measures then.
yes and the cancer council recommends only brimmed hats, to protect
the ears and face. peaked caps don't protect them. and many/most
peaked caps
You only need look at someone wearing a cap to realise ears and
*parts* of the face are pretty much unprotected.
pretty much all the face is unprotected. it's only shade from the
peak that provides any protection for the face, and that varies in
duration with head movement. and I might add the right side of the
face gets more exposure to sunlight from driving.
Yeah, ask any truckie. The right side of their face can look old and
leathery compared to the left side. Used to know a lot of truckies
from the old days and when I catch up to them in their later years

People don't realise, especially those in the southern states, that UV
levels are way worse than they used to be when we were kids. That's
primarily due to the naturally thinner ozone layer at the poles and, of
course, the ozone hole at the south pole. When I was last in Tassie I
was surprised how much I felt my skin burning on a mildly cloudy day -
and that's not the UV. There's just more heat in the sun. wasn't like
that when I was growing up. This site shows the change quite clearly;

https://www.eea.europa.eu/en/topics/in-depth/climate-change-mitigation-reducing-emissions/current-state-of-the-ozone-layer

Look at the ozone layer hole size in 1979, the last year I spent any
amount of time in Tasmania. It was miniscule then compared to most of
the later years, even last year, 2023.

https://www.dcceew.gov.au/environment/protection/ozone/ozone-science/ozone-layer

More about ozone layer depletion
The ozone layer is depleted in two ways. Firstly, the ozone
layer in the mid-latitude (e.g. over Australia) is thinned,
leading to more UV radiation reaching the earth. Data
collected in the upper atmosphere have shown that there has
been a general thinning of the ozone layer over most of the
globe. This includes a five to nine per cent depletion over
Australia since the 1960s, which has increased the risk that
Australians already face from over-exposure to UV radiation
resulting from our outdoor lifestyle. Secondly, the ozone
layer over the Antarctic, and to a lesser extent the Arctic,
is dramatically thinned in spring, leading to an 'ozone hole'.

So the risks are higher today than when we were kids just from the above
fact alone without even factoring in the ozone layer hole.

https://www.health.vic.gov.au/dementia-friendly-environments/vitamin-d-and-sun-exposure

Skin cancer prevention
Sun exposure needs to be accompanied by various skin cancer
preventive measures. In Victoria, SunSmart recommends sun
protection for most people when UV levels are forecast at 3
and above. Average UV levels are 3 and above from the
beginning of September to the end of April. When UV levels
are 3 and above, five sun protection measures are
recommended: shade, sun protective clothing, hats,
sunglasses and sunscreen.
When UV Index levels are below 3, sun protection is not
needed except in alpine regions or near highly reflective
surfaces, such as snow and water. Average UV radiation
levels are below 3 from May to August. During this time the
general population does not need to use sun protection.

Note; UV index in Melbourne is currently 8.

https://www.sunsmart.com.au/uv-radiation

In Australia, we’re exposed to some of the harshest and
most dangerous levels of ultraviolet (UV) radiation in
the world.
UV is a type of energy produced by the sun and some
artificial sources, such as solariums.
UV radiation can’t be seen or felt. That’s why it’s
important to have technology to help us monitor and
communicate the level of UV radiation from the sun
at all times.

So much for the clowns who think they *need* UV. 5 - 10 minutes a day of
skin exposure is more than enough in Australia and that exposure would
be best early in the morning or late in the arvo. With *current* UV
levels at 8, you're well above the 3 so if you're outside it's well and
truly slip, slop, slap time.

It does indeed! They would have popped up by 1990-2000. Typically they

triggered them decades earlier - and too late to *prevent them*. All
that's left is to deal with them as and when they occur.

Long sleeved shirt, check. Long trousers, check. Closed shoes, check.
Gloves, nope - except when gardening. Looks like I am 75% there - and that
is doc’s orders because I am high risk. But, if you look at current UV
levels, everyone should be taking the same measures for at least 9 months
of the year. UV levels are significantly higher than they were in the 60s
so 60s attitudes to UV exposure simply don’t cut it these days.

Indeed. I wear a wide brimmed hat in Summer if I'm working out in the
yard, and I _sometimes_ wear a cap at places like car shows or swap
meets and that's mainly to stop the sun reflecting back through my
sunnies. Aside from that, I hardly ever wear one.

Are you leaving us? That will definitely be one less lying fake conman
in existence.

Say, how about some proof of those tall tales you tell?

You know, like you being a dual qualified tradie (that one was a real
giggle!).

Or you having done three (3) apprenticeships. Pity it was only *legal*
to do one in the era you claim.

But I did love where you claimed an AME apprenticeship not knowing you
needed year 10 to qualify and you didn't even get year 9. FFS, you
didn't even know an AME apprenticeship involved 4 years at TAFE (proven
by your mate Daryl no less!)

And then there's the automotive business you claimed to run and for
which no evidence exists in government records *except* for a brief
period at your parent's domicile.

Are you leaving us? That will definitely be one less lying fake conman
in existence.
Say, how about some proof of those tall tales you tell?
You know, like you being a dual qualified tradie (that one was a real
giggle!).
Or you having done three (3) apprenticeships. Pity it was only *legal*
to do one in the era you claim.
But I did love where you claimed an AME apprenticeship not knowing you
needed year 10 to qualify and you didn't even get year 9. FFS, you
didn't even know an AME apprenticeship involved 4 years at TAFE
(proven by your mate Daryl no less!)
And then there's the automotive business you claimed to run and for
which no evidence exists in government records *except* for a brief
period at your parent's domicile.

I wonder if all his friends will attend his funeral? :)
It's quite likely but, at the moment, I'm attending theirs! Might be
none left by the time it's my turn.

Have a nice day!..

Nothing astonishes Noddy so much as common sense and plain dealing.

His one branch family tree dies with him, and the world can truly be
thankful that there will be one less lying fake conman in existence.
There is still you... and you made sure Xeno's name carries on!

My brother took care of the family name, he even confused Loonsey!

But my DNA is out there, and it cost me dearly.

Won't be getting a DNA test any time soon.

He [Xeno] can't go a single day without trying to be an expert about something.
His personality disorder runs *very* deep :)
I can't imagine anything beating that for '2024 PKB ot Year'.

Everyone needs to wear hats, well endowed with hair or bald as a
badger. You see,
And wannabe teacher Tommy starts teaching everyone to suck HIS eggs...

You see,...
Those who work, live, inside, or underground, do NOT need to wear a hat
for UV protection, you mindless fucking loud mouthed dumb cunt!!! I
survived for 40+ years without one! Some UV is better than none.!!
Gee, the FLC must be in awe of the absolute shit you dribble, when you
try to look knowledgabe and fail, ex teacher...
Ahhh. The good old DATEs. They never fail. At making fools of themselves
that is.

It's highly unusual (fortunately) and bizarre the ways that the poor
creatures comprehend English. Their comprehension ranges all the way
from 'literal' right down to 'completely fail'. The problem though is
that they have nothing in between. A familiar refrain...

Thank God you never got to breed, shit-fer-brains....
Maybe they didn't want to risk producing something like you?

Yep, you've just seen wanton ignorance writ large above. The 60s were
different, the UV less. These days even recreational time in the sun
needs to be limited or protection applied.

FWIW, I spent pretty much all of my working life *inside* a building -
either a workshop or a classroom - so technically I shouldn't be a
candidate for skin cancer. Problem is, that was during my *work hours*.
After work I spent the usual amount of time doing outdoors stuff and
that would be where I received my UV overexposure, as would most people.

I figure, given the time scale, my problems began when I moved to NSW,
then WA, finally Indonesia, before settling in Victoria - all places
with high UV levels. 30 years later I began having cancers removed - all
pretty much textbook - yet I was someone who always *worked* indoors.
It's the after hours outdoors stuff that does the average bloke in - and
especially idiots like Loonsey.

Remember how Darren, once he was found to be fraudulently claiming to be
a multi-qualified tradie, started harping on about *experience* as being
the most important thing. Well, I speak to UV exposure and skin cancer
*from experience* and *extensive* experience at that. What's more,
*unlike Loonsey*, I am able to *observe and learn* from the
*experiences* of others. Rather handy trait that!

It's not limited to English comprehension, the lack of intelligence
plays a significant role.

LOL, I've lost count of how many caps I have, must be at least 20, paid
for some, given others.
Apart from lack of hair I also wear glasses and I find that a cap
reduces the sun glare, also helps keep the rain off.
I've so many caps.. but my favorites are the Richmond Tigers caps from
their premiership years, and an original Boeing F/A-18 E/F Super Hornet
cap from the factory. As an aside, I've scored a framed print of the
"Boneyard Wrangler", RAAF F-111G that popped up on my FB feed. now on
it's way, and after recent reno's, there's a bit of room on the wall for
it aftr dumping a shitload of books and dvd's in the bin. 🙂

fark orf! who is gunna pay that?
more like 40 bucks..
https://shop.motogp.com.au/collections/headwear
Merch at an event often costs more than online.
Prices are usually crazy at those big events but people still buy.
People get caught in the moment, and don't think.
