You should start a thread of "Things that seem under priced" as well

Expensive process but not with the economies of scale they are working with. When I turned 16 (28 now), gas was 89 cents a gallon. Filling up my big arse SUV for under 20 bucks was awesome.

What the hell is up with the pricing on those?

They lost me about a year ago when I started having to shave every day (first full time job). I rock the electric now. Works great Tuesday-Friday, usually sucks on Monday after 2 days of not shaving.

There was a list that came out a year or two ago that was about the most "marked-up" prices.
Top two were:
1. Text messages at like 1900% markup
2. Movie popcorn

You're right, the stock is overpriced. The product however, is underpriced imo. $8 a month for what they offer on the basic plan is awesome (or whatever package comes on my friends' 360s and PS3s.

I typed 'cab fares' and then deleted because I haven't been to enough big cities lately to get a rate.

Gillette makes the best disposable razors in the world. You should buy lots of them. Even if you don't shave.

Cable, coffee, craft beer, and seafood/fish in this market.
For example, 3-years ago a 4-pack of Tenfidy Russian imperial stout was $10.49 (or ten fifty), now that shite is $15, had to downgrade to the Lagunitas Cappucino stout as I ain't paying $15/4-pack on a regular basis. I paid $12+ for a bomber of espresso cask aged stout that would have cost $8.49 two years ago, yowser.
Under:
Can still buy excellent choice grade bulk pack ribeyes @ Costco for ~ $6.39/lb. But I consume a lot more beer than ribeyes.

I'll buy those occasionally for the sheer economic benefit. However, I have this neat buffalo horn handled razor, that takes the individual Gillette Mach3 blades. I prefer the heft and feel of that to the disposable razors and also like the fact that it fits in a stand with a shaving brush that goes with it.
I can't understand, though, why the individual Mach3 blades (sold in like 4 or 8 packs) are so much more incredibly expensive than the disposable razors they sell.
