How much?

[Pale Rider]

Watching a television commercial the other day I had a 'How much?' moment.

I've been on casual lookout for a decent electric shaver, the last one I had wasn't brilliant and conked out years ago.

As a Tottenham fan, an advert featuring our player Eric Dier for a Braun shaver caught my eye.

Until I saw the price - £189, and that was supposedly reduced.

You'd need to be on a professional footballer's wage to afford one of those.

Perhaps I'm out of touch, a quick scan of the Argos website shows they have several electric shavers at more than £200.

Have you ever been shocked at the price of something?

Finding a decent leccy shaver that suits my face, has been the holy grail for me. I've spent a fortune on them over the years (foil and rotary) and always return to wet shaving with a razor.
But the best i have come across, have been the the Panasonic foil razors. They have an ultra fast linear motor and the very sharp blades cut the hair better and more cleanly than the Braun's i've had.
But as always with shaving stuff, what suits some wont suit others.

I'm surprised at the price of absolutely everything in ski resorts.

The rest is redundant, far as I'm concerned...

Fags, they were 32p a packet for Dunhill when I packed up. As a business owner I tend to see the cost involved with running a business and sell a product and sometimes wonder how do they make a profit, often they do not.

"Audiophile" hi-fi cables. Someone's taking the piss.

Multi blade cartridge razors, from the likes of Gillette and Wilkinson Sword can be just as ludicrously overpriced as some electric shavers.
Also, Doc Marten's boots...... way too expensive, seeing as most of them are now made in the far east.
And dont get me started on anything Apple.

Apparently the shyte bag thinks his new motor and cordless vac are the future.
His prices certainly are,about 20 years into the future.
£500 for a 2yr life battery vac!!
I say 2 year as the salesman said its got a 2 year warranty..on the battery.

Bars of chocolate in newsagents. Though I sympathise with their costs.

I dont know how they survive, news paper sales and mags are so weak on sales now.

The cost of vinyl LPs in HMV. £20 upwards. Talk about cashing in on the fad for retro.
