"What things have prices that in your view are just wrong? The materials and quality don't justify the inflated demands etc? " Why is it with foods that are promoted as healthier, ie., have had less sugar, salt etc included or removed altogether, are more costly than the "full" ingredients original? Frankly, if it's less of a manufactured option, it should be cheaper? | |||

"I paid over 25 grand for a car and the salesman told me it only costs 5 grand to make it. Thats a big mark up on a piece of tin. He also told me as soon as I turn the key I lose 10 grand " Good chance the salesman has never stepped foot in a manufacturing plant - dealerships being franchises. Most salesmen have literally no clue what goes into building cars - hence why they can come out with rubbish like that. I'm not saying there's not a big mark up on it - but if he thinks it costs £5k to build a car, he's delusional. THey're usually clueless about the manufacture and the time and effort - love to see them on a line for even one day, I think it should be compulsory. ps. I hope your car's not made from tin - maybe that's why it's so cheap to make | |||

"Think it's unfair that a owning something is cheaper than renting!! My mortgage is half of what some of my friends pay to rent and their houses are smaller " Well of course it is - someone has to own the house first and if they are letting it they need to cover insurance, their own mortgage, repair bills, time it's stood empty | |||

"Disability equipment, the price seems to treble at least just because it’s got the disability word in the description. X " Yep the same goes for wedding stuff. "you'd like a perfectly standard pair of shoes in a neutral colour? That will be £75. Oh they're for a wedding, sorry I meant £175" | |||

"[Removed by poster at 21/03/19 15:02:29]" I was in a bicycle shop recently and some of the bikes cost thousands of pounds, one was over 9 grand! And I was told some cost much more than that. How do they justify that kind of money for a push bike.. I asked the salesman if it was gold plated plated lol. | |||

"Public transport I feel is so overpriced. The trains are really expensive, and extremely unreliable. Buses also. I feel we are really overpriced on public transport especially compared to other less developed countries that seem to have a much more connected network and are affordable for more" Totally agree It affects people's employment opportunities too. | |||

"Designer clothes I second that. £80 plus for a t shirt!! " Teenage friend of my eldest was made up with a jumper he recently bought in a sale. He paid £300, yes £300 and this apparently was half price. Tried to tell them buy a £15 jumper and go on holiday with the balance. They thought I was mad!!! | |||

"I would say some hairdressers. I understand it's a skill but £50 for a cut at some hairdressers is crazy. Plus the base price that hairdressers pay for colour is so cheap with big mark ups. I miss my old hairdresser who used to charge £15 for a cut and blow-dry and he was amazing. Owns his own successful salon, if I hadn't moved I would still use him. Tempted at times to travel back just for him to do my hair " My daughter use to do this when she lived in Surrey It was ridiculous prices to have her hair cut and colours down there It was a lot less expensive to travel up to Lincolnshire to have it done | |||

"Everything that's bad for us is expensive. Alcohol pricing is going through the roof. £4 for a pint of lager that lasts 15/20 minutes, a glass of wine £5.50. A packet of cigarettes (I'm a non smoker) £12. The government wants us to give all these filthy vices up so we can all die healthy.. " I'd flip that around and say everything that's good for us is expensive | |||
