There are outrageous prices, and then there are outrageous items.
Outrageous prices are simple enough to understand: These are hefty price tags that make you seriously question whether an item is worth it. Like, say, a thousand-dollar bagel. Or DJ Khaled sneakers for $25,000.
Outrageous items, however, are a different story altogether.
They make you question everything—the intent of the manufacturer, the inherent value of the item, and maybe even your own understanding of reality. These products (if you can even call them that) were put up for sale by people who apparently have too much time on their hands.
Chances are that you didn’t even know these things were on sale in some marketplace. For a glimpse of some outrageous items that people are asking money for, check out the list below!

$500
