    Overpriced.

    Socks. I can't seem to find a decent pair for less than $7-8 a pair. IT'S A SOCK.

    MTB tires that cost more than car tires.

    Ski wax. A block of wax the size of a pack of smokes for $20.

    Bought some organic apples and paid $1.50 a pop.

    Any OEM Volkswagen part EVER.
    ...

    Let's hear it, what you got that's just stupidly overpriced.

    At least there are two of them. Price a beanie lately?

    Motorcycle tires - more expensive than Car tires and nobody will plug them for you when you drive over a nail in the 1st week. I finally got my own plugging kit.

    Mayonnaise. Hellman's is the only thing I'll use and the grocery wants 5.25 a jar.

Closing the door, turning the ignition, pushing buttons, everything was so well put together, I'll never doubt MB value again.

    Yup unreal

    And bikes

    How can a high end mt or road bike cost as much as a BMW or KTM motorcycle. I dont give a shit what the new "components package" is. It is years behind a motorcycle in tech.......and you don't even have to pedal.

    Anything purchased in Japan. Everything is over-priced here. Thankfully, I'm rich.

    Holy shit, don't get me started on that scam biz. Why a text book even exists anymore is beyond me.
