Cool, overpriced items

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.

video games and systems, iphones (most smart phones), Shape ups (only they aren't cool...)

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.

      Brooks RB, Placed on PUP, Out for 2025

      Its completely and utterly bootlicking at this point.  If you cannot acknowledge that using 3 picks on a rb with a torn acl in the 2nd round isnt a bad pick then you simply havent a clue about football.  Sorry man it is what it is.  And its insanely laughable you are trying to strawman this argument using other players.  And what fuging facts are you bringing that is justifing morgan using 3 goddamn picks on him?  I cannot wait to hear that.

      ESPN's Top 10 Impact Rookies(non-1st Round)

      Scourton's interviews are telling to me that it's only a matter of time before he could really put it together.  His limitation tool-wise that I see is in his bend, but at the leaner size, it looks like it wasn't a problem at Purdue.   He has a good moveset and reads leverages very well (vet level well).  Plays both the speed/quickness (great change of direction) and has a power game with good hand usage.  Moves from what I've seen in my digs: I'm seeing cross-chop, fake crossers into bull, bull rush, spin (his preferred move of choice), hand shuck.  He's not unrefined by any means.   If he can do 2 things---I'm feeling confident from seeing his interviews that we have a real dude on our hands: 1) Diversifying his moveset/how it's deployed - Over-reliant on some, but again, he has a growing palette.  And is already great with his hands so things are in-place to coach up. 2) Developing a counter moveset and starting to play the chess game with an OT - He's very good at reading leverage, knowing when to change things up during a play.  But NFL coaching should start to teach him how to really create a plan based on an opponent.  What to throw at a guy first, how to confuse with fakes/counters, etc.  How to play against these tackles as a game progresses.   Overall, he has some things that give me serious optimism: Run Defense, speed moves, power moves, he's super young and has the size/length.  When you really spell it all out, I think we should get excited.  Temper expectations from a stat sheet standpoint, but he should be able to go in and make an impact.
