Premium Flying Disc

I've created a new category for Overpriced Merchandise, since it's been a recurring theme at WU for a while.

What we have here is not just a frisbee, it's a "premium leather flying disc" that has felt lining for "finger comfort." Plus, it comes in an "array of hues." It's yours for only $305.

anyone besides me wonder about that $3,115 croquet set? this site seems dedicated to those with more money than brains.

or the $53,735 (at minimum) chess set? :wow:
Sometimes I'm amazed at the ways people can waste money.

One day, when my son is older and inflation has destroyed the world's economies, I'll take him around to all these websites and point and say "that almost used to be affordable, if you worked for AIG or were related to Bill Gates."

I understand that regular frisbees are hard on canine teeth, Frisbee Dogs frequently injure themselves on the Wham-O variety -- but there are cheaper alternatives at lower price. (And canine dental work runs a *lot* more than $300 ---)

Then again, a $300 chew toy if you leave a Border Collie alone with his or her new Frisbee --- DUMB!
