Cool, overpriced items

[lightsout]

After watching the Book of Eli, I really wanted a pair of those headphones he had. But I couldn't find anything on them. Then, a guy in one of my classes has a pair. Said they are the best headphones he has ever used and that they never come out. They are Beats by Dr. Dre. So, I asked him how much they are...$180 at Best Buy. WTF?! $180?! REALLY?! I would buy a pair TOMORROW if they were $20-$30 because my current earbuds come out while walking, let alone running.

So, this thread is dedicated to great items, whatever they may be, that are severely overpriced.

Um, I can't think of a great/cool item that is actually overpriced. If it is overpriced that instantly degrades its worth. The price of an item directly coorelates with its value and it's a two-way street.

Gotta ask for an explanation on the video games and systems, as well as smart phones.

If you're argument for video games is that you can just download them on your computer for free, my response is a computer capable of running games at equal quality as current gen consoles will typically cost you around $2000 depending where on console cycle you are when you buy it. On the other hand, if you are saying video games are just worthless period, then fug you buddy.

As for smart phones, I find that having internet access and GPS in my pocket at all times is incredibly valuable. Do I wish plans were cheaper, yes, but it is still worth my money. Having a computer/phone/mp3 player/GPS/camera/wireless hotspot/handheld gaming device that can fit in my pocket is pretty awesome in my opinion.

will typically cost you around $2000

Yeah... no.

I love my video games and id love to have a smart phone. But they are overpriced. I do buy video games on occasion (like 1 or 2 a year). I won't be getting a smart phone any time soon. I don't have a job, so I just stick with my free upgrades.

You're just mad that high-priced dildo didn't turn out to be as good as you thought it would be.
