I wish to know which things do you think are overpriced, and not in the sense of "people are buying them therefore they are not overpriced. Also not in the sense that you think they should be cheaper, actually explain why they are overpriced.

Ill start with hard liquors.

Aged for 10,000 years, by master craftmen, produced to serve god and shit. Lets face it hard liquors were invented by people who wanted to get fucked up all year long, and the whole aging was just people ensuring their supplies lasted long.

I can understand good wines, beers which have a lot of flavor in them but i dont expect to pay hundreds of dollars for a hard liquor.

EDIT

As i pointed out, you got to explain why it is overpriced. For example diamonds are overpriced because of controlled supply.

Go on Neiman Marcus and you can find all the overpriced shit you want. They got some funky ass Walmart looking shoes that are like $1100. It's ridiculous.
 
Insurance
Paper towels
Batteries, but not as bad as they used to be.
Cable service
TV service
Internet Service
Cell phone service
Car washes
 
People you got to explain why things are overpriced, the point is realizing how suppliers are messing with us by having people who knows about a particular industry tell us why they are gouging us.
 
Hotel rooms. Nothing worse than paying $150 to rent a bed. Especially when on vacation and are hardly going to be in the room.

AirBnB ftw
 
Attorney fees and billable hours. Attorneys and their staff are incentivized to be inefficient
 
Walmart Canada
Beats headphones ($300 for subpar dollar store quality headphones)
Womminz in divorce court
Houses (600-700k for a 130k home)
 
Someone had already stated shaving razors. They are very expensive for being plastic with a small sliver of cheap steel. Also ink cartridges for printers are very expensive.
