There's an article on Rich Wyatt and his customers on Wikipedia:

An AR build that we would be proud to do on a kitchen table and bring in under 1 grand and under 1 or 2 MOA, those guys want to brag about spending two or three times as much for, just to hang on a trophy wall. Kinda like the game some people play of "out doing the Joneses".

Conspicuous consumption is spending on goods and services acquired mainly for the purpose of displaying income or wealth. In the mind of a conspicuous consumer, such display serves as a means of attaining or maintaining social status.
Invidious consumption, a more specialized term, refers to consumption deliberately intended to cause envy.
