#Overpriced
Fantastic essay! I had a similar experience. I discovered Badfinger around the same time (hearing Baby Blue on the radio), and in the early 80s you could only find their records in overpriced original vinyl at the used record store (in my case near Chicago). Delighted when Ryko finally issued CDs.

It’s time for some hoodoo to buy this Techbuilt house. It’s overpriced by an investor who just can’t keep it rented or renovate sufficiently. Cut your losses!

Trump has threatened Canada 🇨🇦 with Retaliation if Carney doesn’t buy America’s overpriced F-35 , over the Saab offer. The Saab gripens cost lest are more suited to Northern Conditions & much shorter runways. If you’re American 🇺🇸 what would you do under Threats 🤔🤔🤔👊🇺🇸😎🇨🇦

I hope everyone knows that there is a direct line from the price of gasoline to the Epstein Files, hidden in the FBI records building in Winchester, Virginia.

Every overpriced gallon ($6.50 where I live) is us paying for child rapists not being held accountable.

What you said hurts all of us.

babes clothes are overrated and overpriced.

Ive only come across one brand of clothes that realllyyy doesn't need to be slapped with 40 bucks for one top but so far I haven't seen much of stuff being overpriced. I think the only thing so far was an nostalgic iCarly bag for $70 lmfao but everything else has been fairly priced in my eyes

Agree, price seems reasonable, a couple $ overpriced but very far from a scam.

Make informed decisions, I’m not your parent or the food cops, if you wanna have a spooky overpriced latte or whatever just weigh the downsides for yourself.

But I hate this trend and find it so incredibly dumb. We have non-activated-charcoal black colorings!

That's extortionate! They'd be overpriced at 1.14p.

I’ve heard this shit in courtrooms for decades as an expert witness in interpersonal violence and sexual abuse cases. A couple of particularly sleazy, groomed, overpriced lawyers saw me waiting and yelled at me trying to shame or rattle me in hallways. They relished it. So many creeps among us.

I have xfinity and it’s so overpriced

Sure looks like there's sweet deals of some sort happening .. 🤷‍♀️

First Captain Canada gives Staples all 'Service Ontario' in store .. now Staples gift cards to Ontario Education, so they have to buy overpriced school supplies there.

Hope someone is following that $$

The deluxe is overpriced for what’s in it. Shame the book is in there. Price will drop as Let It Be (and Revolver) have proved

My hot take: Triple Locks are massively overpriced, at least for a shooter. So are Wolf & Klar models. Go with a Second Model Hand Ejector if all you're looking for is a prewar you can use for a range toy.
My hot take: “triple lock” as an unconstitutional attempt to bind the hands of a future parliament and thus inherently un-British

Overpriced and unnecessary

The move to primarily ebooks was always a bad one. Many libraries gave away their rights to perpetual access in favor of bloated, overpriced ebooks, many of which are out of date and underutilized at best.
"In 2022, Wiley removed over 1,300 ebooks from academic library collections; [they said] perpetual access is not an option for subscribed content. In 2025, Clarivate,... announced they would stop offering libraries perpetual access licenses for ebooks and primary-source digital collections."

good question! It seems to be a mix of stuff but timed to coincide with public sector strikes: heavy timetables, badly insulated buildings, overpriced canteen food, staff shortages etc. There is a sense that it could snowball a bit. It is France, after all!

It never failed to amuse me that they hate PlayStation, claiming they have no games or they are too woke to play yet they are doing everything they can to emulate their games on their overpriced PC rig.

Proving yet again that the entire rugby world revolves around me, I post about a few watches and all of a sudden the URC gets an official timekeeper.

I checked out their most popular watch. Good movement inside. Not exactly a looker though, is it? Overpriced for what it is.
