Things that are ridiculously expensive but do not look ridiculously expensive

I'm not sure some of this fits the spirit of the thread- this still looks pretty expensive, just not that astronomically so. I think the idea is more things that look outright cheap or crappy that are actually really expensive.
These Eames chairs are like 4k
looks like a nice spot to store laundry.

I don't think you can really count research tools. Some equipment that fits on a countertop can cost more than a house. I've worked in research labs that are literally worth millions in equipment alone, not counting chemicals and everything else.
It is really freaking cool though

Junior, please.
Yes and no. I found one. "I hate all that shit, it's so facile and useless."
One MASSIVE expensive wedding later, it turns out that
a) She was into it a bit
b) Family and peer pressure is a bitch
c) My plan of eloping to Hawaii was over

I just buy new printers on sale instead of new toner. Saves money that way.

haha, I remember this
$160 Dog shampoo
To be fair it is concentrate, but I was still appaled when my wife got it lol
Why can't you just wash your dog with a bar of Dove soap?

$140 million in 2006 (Inflation-adjusted value: $151.8 million).
Does anyone else see a map of the world in that painting? I must be fucking losing it.
Looks like dryer lint to me.
It's a schooner.
They're show dogs and you can't beat the mountain of "scientific" evidence that is dog show forums. Plus it's her money and her hobby ... at least it's not clothes/jewelry.

I've gotten a good leather purse that was quite attractive for 150 bucks. That thing looks like shit and it's $16,000? Not worth it.
I've also had the same purse for the past five years and it's still in good shape. I'll never understand the women who collect shoes and purses just for variety's sake. Such a waste of money.
I don't think bar soap will work for dogs that have thick coats. I use Johnson's baby shampoo on mine and it's still pretty cheap.

The shirt looks shocked at how much it's being sold for.

Speaking of gas, the news is apparently going to announce $4 averages very soon.

edit - Beaten with aplomb
Also remembered a guy at work bragging about:
Kopi luwak (literally, "civet coffee"), up to $100 a cup...
Brewed from beans partially digested and defecated by the Asian palm civet:
According to coffee critic Chris Rubin, "The aroma is rich and strong, and the coffee is incredibly full bodied, almost syrupy. It's thick with a hint of chocolate, and lingers on the tongue with a long, clean aftertaste."

Shark Fin Soup: ~$100
Is it true that shark fin is pretty much tasteless, and the soup is essentially a chicken broth?
Go to Costco, bro. Four six-packs for like $7-8.

Why I'm never getting married.
Women are so stupid. Blow thousands of dollars on a lame event when the money could go into investments, like a house or something that actually appreciates.
I paid 250 bucks for my wedding/reception and it was a beautiful ceremony in a small church overlooking a meadow.
Fabulous. I wouldn't have noticed you except my girlfriend pointed out your mean spirited, bitter posts.

The guy said that women with non-expensive tastes must be ugly or have Down's Syndrome, he would get banned anyways.

Might as well ban this user name as well, since I barely post here any more these days. Afterwards, I suggest you rummage through your fat ass girlfriend's purse and find the set of balls you've misplaced. Don't forget to invite me to the wedding!

Ideally it's cooked in panda broth and seasoned with elephant husk. mmmmm
Screw that stuff, I would never support what they do to those sharks and then leave them to die. Just like the Dolphin massacres happening. I mean at least if you are going to cut the fin off use the whole shark and make steaks also. I just can not support the way they overfish and kill them just for their fins.
That's insane. Just buy cheap bootleg toner cartridges from ebay for like $15-20. For a laser printer, they last at least a few thousand pages.
