Even the sale prices in the store are prohibitively expensive.

[Poporito_Popoto]

Expensive being very subjective.

The market accepts and supports.. the pricing continues.

Compare any of that to pricing of things someone might pay for daily such as gas.. or a snack, or even something someone might buy that they didn't need to like a shot of liquor on a weekend out, or watching ONE showing of a movie.

People commonly pay far more for far shorter experiences.

But...but...glam is more important than food! It's the only real endgame after all!!
