It's incredible that a I can get a polypro t-shirt to ride in for $15. Take that same poly pro t-shirt, make it tighter, add elastic and a zipper, call it a bike jersey, charge $75 for it.

Just saw a replacement roller for a plastic card printer today going for $185. Normal is about $3.
AT and Pat are like Apple. Somewhat better design. Same materials as everyone else. 2X the price.
However, I'll bet that the better designed outdoor wear might come in handy if you were really using it for what it was intended. The Apple stuff doesn't really work any better (sound quality, durability, etc.) but it's speshul. Just like wearing AT to the office.

Anything mountain bike.
An old adage goes, If something is labelled marine grade, it costs double. If it's aviation grade, add a zero.

Stand Up Paddleboards. Was thinking about getting into the sport, day-um they are expensive.
Marker Jesters/Pros. $359/399 when you can get a comparable (and better) Sth16 or Tyrolia15 or even a Look Pivot14 for $299
Sushi, unless it is all you can eat.
I thought Apple was over priced until I started using them. They last longer and have higher resale so actual cost ends up less.
Cable @130/mo. cut it out and got a digital antenna.Click. Point. Chute.

My wife just decided she needed everything Apple. So I guess having a wife is pretty expensive. I still think I got a good deal though 'cause she's worth every penny.
As far as all the bitching about gold, watches and real estate, folks are missing the point. Those things are commodities. A Rolex might be expensive on the front end, but down the road you can sell it for what you paid or more. Same with real estate in most circumstances and definitely the same with gold.
Skis, cars, bikes on the other hand are disposable goods. Much more foolish to pay top dollar for a fancy mountain bike (or road bike if you love the cock) which will seem obsolete in three years than to have a stable of Rolex watches.
Aaand; twenty years ago if someone predicted that my phone bill would be $130/mo I would have laughed.

Managed to beat the system, but only a tiny bit. $300 for a very lightly used Winston rod that just arrived today. $750 retail, new. The trouts are gonna hate this thing.
