Look man there are a lot of ways to criticize capitalism but I really don’t think the setting of market prices for luxury consumer goods is the best approach https://images.plurk.com/CpSrqGlqIcIMUrjWL9kBG.jpg

People pay $20 to watch a two-hour movie in the theater, these days. I think that's a much more exorbitant charge for what you're getting.
