The Science of Spending – get paid to go on luxury spending sprees

The Science of Spending – get paid to go on luxury spending sprees

Posted on May 28, 2023

[This role is no longer accepting applications]

With more than 200,000 luxury goods from all around the world listed on our site, it’s always a feel-good moment when choosing to invest your money in something extravagant. However, when the price tag is no longer a concern, can splurging have an effect on you other than extreme satisfaction?

This is why we are launching our new professional ‘Spenders’ scheme, in which people will be hired to purchase high-value goods while tracking changes in their physical and mental behaviour/mood. The purpose of the study is to discover whether the ideology ‘money buys happiness’ is true.

We are now looking to recruit three members of the public to spend £5,000 over the course of 8 hours whilst wearing a heart rate monitor. Before and after every purchase, an accompanying medical professional, provided by us, will access and record their pupil dilation, body temperature, sweat, and salivation levels.  

Candidates will also be required to fill out a psychological survey at the time of purchase, and then again one week later, to ascertain their emotional and mental state and how this might develop over time. 

If you are interested in applying for this role please check out the key skills, requirements, and benefits of the role below, and apply via the form at the bottom of this page.

Key requirements for the role:

  • Aged 18+ to be supplied with a prepaid credit card
  • Have no serious pre-existing medical conditions that could affect the results of the study, or impact their own personal health and safety.
  • Be able to travel to or based in a built-up metropolitan area, in order to take advantage of any local luxury shopping outlets.

Previous experience:

  • None required. Ideal candidates would be those who are not accustomed to spending large amounts of money on material items.

Benefits of the role:

  • A salary of £100 for the day, with the addition of keeping all goods purchased during the study
