6 Products With the Most Extremely High Prices

#3 Greeting cards

If you have ever tried to get specially made greeting cards, be it for the holiday season or just as invitations to a wedding or special event, you know just how extreme the markup can be on these items! After all, they’re just paper or cardboard. And, unless you buy in bulk, you’re probably paying the price of about 20 or more of them when you buy one in-store.

Those Hallmark greeting cards can end up being crazily expensive, and sometimes for truly no reason other than profit for the company. The best way around this is to either try to make them yourself if you’re crafty enough or, if you’d rather not try your hand at this, you can always check out the local dollar store or online!

#4 Diamonds

For something that nature makes without any intervention from humans, the markup for precious jewels is one of the most extreme. And while we know that they are rare and special, you should also be prepared to pay more than 200% of what it took the jeweler to acquire the stone. Talk about insane markups!

And while they’re a special item to gift to someone, you should also make sure you won’t just be throwing your money around at something the person doesn’t need or want!
