Designer clothes in general - not just the jeans listed on that link.

This probably won't help you, but I remember reading about 10 years ago that movie theatre popcorn is the most overpriced item on the planet...even more than diamonds!

Movie theatres buy 20 pound bags of corn kernels for a few bucks and sell a medium sized popcorn for $7. One 20 pound bag can make A LOT of medium popcorns!

I think the most over priced commodity is the tiny bottles of ink for printers
They've got a captive market.

Breakfast cereals are also very overpriced. My understanding
is that the packaging of the most popular brands of cereals are
more expensive than the contents. The major companies
simply decide to price high and consumers buy. Hence, why
I make my own cereal--granola from oatmeal.

  I think Apple stuff is reasonably priced. All of their products are high end and you definitely get what you pay for!

  Everything that has an Apple logo is over priced.. and you are def not getting what you pay for.. that is just their marketing brilliance..
  .... Making you believe they invented new stuff where they also just copied long time existing products and gave it a good marketing spin and a design update.

  You can say that again TheEliteWarrior, It shows that there is a way to make all designer stuff " a bit" cheaper, but i learnt that going cheaper would not be fit purpose.

  Does this apply if a retailer sells branded cologne/perfume? I wonder if the perfume/cologne brands offer good retailer discounts...
  
  Thanks

  I checked this but the top Google results for affordable diapers sell branded diapers. One might need to order a large amount for the Huggies/Diapers to give a decent discount for retailers I reckon.

Nothing is overpriced. It is priced at exactly what people will pay for it.

I believe apparels are overpriced. They seem to be priced according to its branding.

- Just a random thought

Canon digital cameras. They sell for $2,000 and more, and sell fast.
