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.

Yup…the sofa I purchased this month was costing 50% about 6 months ago. 😕

@Vivaci Prices are out of control. I wonder when they will start to fall, if at all?
@Gusman Gas prices are slowly dropping…it seems. 🤞

@Vivaci Not here in Australia. The powers that be come up with more and more excuses to keep the price high.
