Because it was 2 bucks cheaper than the black electric toothbrush.

    I see it a lot when I’m looking at second-hand phones on eBay.

    “Girly” colours like rose gold and sage green are always going for less than plain black.

    I like girly colours, so that’s great for me :)

    Second hand tech is probably an anomaly though, because I imagine it’s mostly guys who are buying used electronics and this skews the demand.

      Cars too. Bright pink cars are usually quite cheap.

      Obviously, that is a choice. LOL.

      Although, I am a 6ft6/2m tall bodybuilder and look like a Russian gangster. There is a part of me that wants to buy a tiny candy pink Japanese kei car. Just because it’d be continually funny seeing people react to me get out of it, them wanting to laugh, but not daring to because I look like I could kick the shit out of them. (I wouldn’t. I’m a softie.)

      Lol I went with sage on my newest phone because it was cheaper. I love that the insecurities of others gives me a discount.

      I really couldn’t give two shits about the colour of my phone, it’s gonna get a case anyway. And that’s pretty much the only piece of tech I have that even could have “girly” colours.
