why dover sole so expensive?

Dover sole on average is 4.00 a pound wholesale so it would sell for about 15.00 a pound at restaurants and you get about 6 fillets. If buying the whole fish fresh it's about 6.00 about wholesale which would be about 20–25$ for a whole sole add the sides to that and voila. That's what makes the price the price.

So, why are side by sides so expensive? The main reason for the high cost is the improvement in the performance of UTVs and the increase in their available accessories, add-ons and luxuries.

Yes, expensive shoes are way more comfy. They are more stable, have wayyy more cushioning, and last longer. There's a huge difference in a $60 pair of heels and a $300 pair of heels.

This is what Suhr (and others) do. They build guitars to a very high standard and very high tolerances and so the costs are higher and consequently the price of the finished product will be higher. If the customer wishes to pay for this product it is up to them.

Demand far outstrips supply and the wholesale costs of Cohiba are just too high for anyone to offer them at a lower cost. If they're cheaper than usual, they're most likely not real.

No definitely not. However they have held up better than any other shoe I've ever had, and ~$100-200 for over 2 years including 2 NYC winters (notoriously tough on shoes) is not bad at all. Definitely worth the money, but I've heard good things about other brands as well, Blundstone coming to mind.

Along with the material in use, makes their price tag quite high and you will need to spend plenty of time saving up to buy a pair (unless you are already well-off and can afford without much struggle).

The Pro Versions cost a little more ($5) because of the Ultracush Sole and the Duracap. The Pro's are designed for skateboarders. Forgot to mention that the Pro Versions also have a red tag along the stripe on the side of the shoe.

Adding to the lack of production volume, the fact that foil designs are changing rapidly contributes to their high prices. Each new design requires research and development, testing, protoypes and once they're ready for production - new tooling to be made. That all gets lumped into the retail price of your sup foil!

The electronics and hardware are proprietary, which means they are MUCH MUCH higher cost than what the Chinese are using. And there you are. THAT'S why Alembics are so expensive. Resale isn't any worse than most high-end builders.

The reason DDP shipments are a little more expensive upfront is that express couriers will process the payment to customs on your behalf, but for an additional fee. Still, these fees are fixed and can be 3-4 times cheaper than DDU brokerage fees.

It was the only place to get enemy fetch lands for almost 10 years, plus first wave boxes were opened en masse due to hope for a priceless treasure. Between that and normal buying and opening it's dried up substantially, hence the very high price.

Eye-watering expense. Here's why cars are so pricey in Singapore. Prospective buyers have to first bid for a COE before they are allowed to purchase a car. ... Additional taxes are slapped on top of that, which means that these costs add up to more than the open market value of the car itself.

The easy answer to why some products cost more than others is marketing and demand. Product manufactures spend years building a brand so that consumers want to buy it. ... That lofty price point (50% more than other competing brands) makes Tide ripe for a cheaper alternative.

I got really lucky and picked up a set of pedestals that fit my washer and dryer for 5 bucks apiece at my local secondhand shop. The added height is really great and the storage space is nice to have. That said, and as much as I like them, they are most certainly not worth the exorbitant cost of buying them new.

A complete Surefoot custom boot costs about twice as much as the same off the shelf boot and runs about $900-$1,200 depending on the shell chosen. The prices of shells and custom liners range from $670-$990 plus $225 for the custom fitting analysis and process.

Something like this experimental project [Visvim] is expensive because I'm trying to discover things like old techniques and handmade craftsmanship. So the retail price will be very expensive.
