Why Bellerby Globes Are So Expensive | So Expensive | Insider Business

Sorry, I'm think there are Artisans in other countries that can also do this. This is just all marketing really

The earth is not a sphere. It is flat. It does not rotate. It is covered with a solid dome. We live in God's terrarium.

This video is propaganda.

Exactly why indeed....

They’re so expensive because they’re getting paid so much from NASA to keep the globed earth lie alive!

This is for dummies with a lot of money

at least it is affordable than Japanese scissor

Cant it be 3D printed now? - at least the smaller ones should be possible

this is the most hilarious bullshit I've seen recently

they only reason their job is not done mostly by machines is because rich people like handmade stuff.
this is nice as a hobby, as a job it's just lost human productivity
I can't believe they're pretending that cutting something along a line precisely is a skill that's worth money
I think this is the most pointless feature I've seen on this channel, by quite a margin

a bunch of idiots making inaccurate objects, earth has a different shape you know

But wait, didn’t anybody tell them that world is flat?
I imagine they will be so embarrassed when they find this out.😄

So it's an expensive toy for rich people, right.

what a waste

still doenst make sense why it's so expensive

A lot of geopolitics can change in two years.

What a great episode. This is why China can never compete at the top end of markets.

ridiculous

TLDR: low experience workers makes mistakes. These mistakes increase production time and labor cost. They charge customers for their mistakes.

It's expensive because people want you to waste money. I have a Globe at home from 1990. It's just decoration nowadays. You'll never use it. No one gives a shit if it is handmade or not. It's something completely arbitrary that shouldn't exist. They waste resources for something that no one needs.

It takes 18 month for someone to apply glue precisely.
In contrast, it take few months to design, and another few to use machine to mass produce stuff at lower cost.

For instance, computer chip contains billion of switch, transistor, and no one will rely on people to do that. That nanometre accuracy is doable by machine. Don’t really know why not use robot to just glueing and cutting stuff.

a bit confused, why are the globes painted by hand when the borders and features seem to be printed out?

I don't know why but this seemed a little pretentious. Why paint the globe when you are already fine with printing them. Why not just print the topographic colour as well. That would be more accurate as well.

I see that it is expensive because it is extremely inefficient production.

Meanwhile I been failing to put screen protector on my phone just right.

It must of happened where they have literally been 90% done on a globe and then someone has completely fucked up to the point where the globe had to be scrapped.

I wonder how they portray Crimes and other occupied parts of Ukraine.

Call me an uncultured swine but laying flat paper over a sphere doesn't seem like the way to go for accurate quality globes lol, "entirely handmade except the parts that aren't"

lol THere is a sucker born every minute. Narcissists make people a lot of money

If you're in on this hype then ur dum

Why are this expensive globes - perfect spheres, when Earth is not a perfect sphere?

So, the rich really do have nothing better to do than to spend money on a false image of something they know nothing about. Nice irony, love it.

I'm surprised they use paper and glue, to be honest. I kind of assumed those high end globes would be painted/printed directly onto the sphere. Maybe even carved

Well, the Earth is not perfectly spherical ;)

The fact they "pay attention to detail" and get the names and locations of cities wrong 😭

Or invest in a laser cutter and train that cutter guy to glue. suddenly you got 2x capacity

Wow what a great advertisement for this absurd product! How much did they pay you to make this video?

Africa is small

So pretentious rich person trash basically.

that sounds like SUCH a boring job. you do the same thing over and over again and arent even allowed to make even the slightest mistake.
i also dont think these people get paid much as its pretty much a job in which you dont need any sort of higher education.

They focus on it being a "perfect sphere"....but the earth itself isn't a perfect sphere. So, artistry vs accuracy? Can you request accuracy first? Bet it costs more...

somehow all of the workers look like they're all leftists.

So you pay thousands for an "accurate" globe... that is a sphere... cause you know, earth definitely isn't a deformed blob.

what a waste of time and money.

this looks like a hippy hischool shop project haha, but its neat

Most of this could be done better by machines, even with custom cartography. But cool globes.

Lmao what if this mockery? ‘It takes 1 HOUR to paste a big globe’ why was this so emphasised lol. 1 hour is literally nothing. Sit down, ain’t doing anything special. 6 years to call urself expert? People have being practising art for generations and still don’t call themselves expert. Be humble, this was a dumb, rich white guy video.

So this is an extremly expensive decor ball.

It's interesting to watch the craft, but it's just a waste of money for people who want to chase purchasing highs.

wouldn't it go out of date too fast to be worth its price? new country border lines change about every five years, I wouldn't want an out of date globe that costs that much.
