$4600 for this bad boy. Does it do something special? I get it's probably built nicer than the $50 Lowe's model, but 800x nicer?

I feel like this picture represents about $300 in value and $4300 in BS.

300? a shitt one from Walmarks or HD is 300. That one should be more in the 800-1000 realm if it is thick steal. 4300is laughable.

The fact that we live in a capitalistic society where you can sell objects for whatever price. It's alright if it's listed for an obscene price and some other moron buys it.

No doubt this is true and better than the alternative.

It is a damn good looking fire pit.

Anyone who has ever wanted a one off high quality item can tell you that this is worth more than $300.

Anything that isn't mass produced and high quality isn't going to be cheap.

From their site... it's made out of 1/2" cast iron and weighs 370lbs. But still, $4600 for the 50gal. seems damn high.

I had one custom made and it was $450 but it will be my last firepit. That pit is 5' across, yeah that is why it is expensive. It doesn't look to be a tank head like most of the pits that size so if they had to get that bowl made that is more money. I wouldn't pay $4600 for it but I wouldn't expect to pay $300 either.

Got a fire ring while working offshore. It's a piece of 60 inch drive pipe with 1 1/2" wall thickness.
Pretty high quality.

I got this one 5-6 years ago (price was around $500 when I bought it). It is still basically like brand new, but not sure I would pay what they are asking today. S & S firepits
