Designer Duct Tape

Another item for our ongoing collection of ridiculously overpriced merchandise. It's duct tape from designer Raf Simons with the phrase "Walk With Me" stamped on it. Yours for only $286.

Or you could buy a roll of duct tape at Home Depot for $5.

Raf Simons also sells jeans with a "duct tape detail at back." They usually go for $504.08, but right now they're on sale for only $252.04.

I don't know if it would be considered designer, but some time ago, while searching for Wisconsin Badgers items at Amazon, I came across Wisconsin Badger logo duct tape (current price: $8.99). There are a few dozen other schools available for this item.

:roll: Am I the only one who thinks the model looks about to take a p*ss?

I have two extra rolls of the traditional gray duct tape. $4.95 each roll. Should anyone need one let me know and I will be happy to sent it along. Shipping and handling $400.00.

A local brewery and a football team have an advertising agreement. When you buy a 24 pack of beer it sometimes comes with a flag or T shirt. Their best offering was a roll of duct tape and bumper sticker.

Although the picture shows a roll of duct tape (complete with cardboard core), the title of the listing indicates that it's a belt made of duct tape. So it's not quite fair to compare it to a roll of duct tape from Home Depot. It's more like this $8 belt made of duct tape and pull tabs on Etsy.com:
