I use it for sorting LEGO sets I want.. especially if it's like an expert creator or idea set, as they get mixed up easy.

I do for things like book series boxed sets. Just search for author name then sort high to low. Cheaper to buy the set than to buy each book individually.

Like others have said- those are great uses for it. I also often use it to sort when I’m looking a category or word that has many components- like machine parts. That way I don’t have to sort through 1,000 results for sub assemblies and bolts to find a major assembly.

Also- sometimes I do it to eliminate crap. Wether it is an item that has tons of boot legs, or an optic such as a rifle scope or binoculars etc or certain cooking implements etc etc- it’s 99.9% unless there is some kind of KILLER clearance or something- you aren’t likely going to find the high end stuff for awhile by searching low to high.

Tl:dr/in conclusion- asides sorting small vs big items in the same category or key word (especially when sellouts key word spam), if you’re buying something looking for a deal- but price isn’t your main concern- getting the one you want is- the “sort by price” isn’t the best sort most of the time. It depends on what you’re shopping for- but I don’t care if I paid the least amount possible and bought something that doesn’t do what I want or need it to do. Buy once, cry once; or you can cry every time you use a crappy item or have to replace it because it wasn’t a good value- just cheap.

your tldr is just as long as your first two paragraphs

Yes. But it contains the conclusion. The first two paragraphs read without the last aren’t complete. So you’d have to read 2x as much. The last paragraphs can be read alone for a broader view- so a person could read only 1/2 as much if they didn’t desire context, example, etc. that is why it is “Tl:dr AND in conclusion” because there isn’t much point in reading the first half and not the second. It isn’t comparing the length of the Tl:dr post script to what is before it- but to the entire thing. The TL:dr serves as an easily recognized visual marker for those who just want to “skip ahead.”

I use it to see what the insanely rich buy instead of the crap I have to use. There are some wild things out there I can tell you.

Rich Russians all the way. They don't look for bargains, they want to show they can afford the most expensive shit. Look at tourist shops in eastern europe: stick a pound of Swarowski stones and a 150% mark up on anything - you got their business.

I use it on Amazon to filter out the knock-offs and counterfits.

When I'm on a budget, I filter on it, then sort price descending.
