If you have a problem with the price, don't pay it. Danny is an extremely well known leather artisan & craftsman whose work is in very high demand. Instagram auctions for some of his lighters have claimed prices more than twice this high, so the demand is there. Granted, this isn't a necessity, it's a luxury piece. You're buying the artwork, not the lighter. If you simply want a Zippo, hit up the 1941 replica drop up right now, pay your $12.99 & have fun. I for one applaud Danny for being willing to offer a discount for those who know his work & have been looking for an opportunity to score one of his pieces. I love being part of the Massdrop community, but I'm tired of seeing people complain about high end luxury items being overpriced out of their own ignorance. I appreciate it when members post helpful comments about pricing, like those informing the community that a particular item happens to be cheaper on another site. But berating an artisan for offering a discount simply because you are not part of his or her target market only hurts the community & discourages guys like Danny from offering discounted drops in the 1st place.
