Default $325 socks for a mere $196

Why buy 2 pairs of socks for $1 at the dollar store, when you can save $106 on your socks with a single purchase? Buy a year's worth of socks for the family, and in no time you will have saved enough to buy a new car.

Amazon.com: Polo Ralph Lauren Mens Cable Wool Acrylic Nylon Cream Socks 10-13: Clothing

* 40% Acrylic/39% Wool/20% Nylon/1% Spandex
* Polo Ralph Lauren
* Care: Hand Wash Only
* Retail $325

I seem to recall posting some insanely priced item a year or so ago but I don't remember what it was.

The sad thing is that there are people out there who buy these items. Otherwise, they wouldn't exist. I don't care if I earned a gazillion dollars a year, I would not spend $200 for a pair of socks. At least they qualify for free shipping.
