Ridiculous prices for new furniture and household items

I wanted to purchase a new Lounge chair and lowest price at Harvey Norman store was $999.
Actually that was the only chair with a price. The other 17 chairs - Price on Request.
I went else where, second hand chair in excellent condition $220.
I walked around this huge store noting prices and how so many products are completely overpriced.
A double door fridge $5000, Clothes Dryer $2300, Queen Bed $3200,Smart Phone $2000.
Seems to me that these products are becoming crazy priced.
Manufacturers know the higher the price, the higher the profit.

I always thought furniture was overpriced.

@MrBrownstone Seems that it is aimed at people with huge amounts of money, and there are plenty of those.
People on modest income need to buy on hirer purchase or take out a loan.
The higher the price, the higher the profit
