Spectacular but very overpriced

The basket arrived on time and well-boxed. Amazon's description of its dimensions is correct.

Information leaflet says that each item is hand-weilded, but nowhere on leaflet show care instructions or where it was made, so I guess it might have been China.  I'm no world-class welders, but even I could tell that the fusing of the rods could have been better wielded together.

If you decide to buy this basket, just know that you're buying it just for its looks. The basket certainly has good design, but you'll have to pay an arm and a leg for that.

I do get compliments for my Alessi basket; don't get me wrong. But, after those compliments had come and gone, I realized that I overspent a little on this basket.

Hope this helps.

This Tarot deck is absolutely beautiful, absolutely captivating and touching.  The illustrations and artwork are beyond compare.....breathtaking.  The meanings and understanding of the deck is  quite easy to master and to have sink in.  However, I have to be fair and  say that I bought my deck several months ago at a metaphysical shop for  $14.99.  Amazon.com is a reputable, dependable company, but this price is  too high, considering there will be shipping and handling costs in  addition.

These things are phenomenal. The price is however incredibly steep. I was only able to afford it because of an employee discount placing it at a price mortals can save up for.

Looking through these it's like the glass isn't even there. You forget that you're looking through an instrument. I have several pairs of binoculars and telescopes and thought that I've seen spectacular optics before but these really take it to the next step. You have ED glass in a package that already gives acceptable performance..I mean cmon most other binoculars don't use ED glass and everyone else is completely fine with it...add the ED glass and it just knocks it out of the park.

They're sold as water resistant and dust resistant etc...but seriously it's not like you're going to be hammering nails with it. When you shell out this kind of money you'll probably baby it more than you would a newborn human. I think the only people that would actually put it through it's paces as far as testing out its ruggedness is either loaded or has someone else footing the bill like companies or governments. Normal people can get something around 100 bucks if they're going to be playing Indiana Jones with it. And to be fair, these things cost enough that I'm probably not taking them out to play with them as much as I'd like.

Do you NEED this? Most likely not. It does cost a ridiculous amount of money and unless you're an enthusiast you will be completely satisfied spending a fraction of the price for this. Pentax does have more affordable bins that also perform superbly. I have the 20x60's for astronomy and they're pretty great and considering on getting something compact to carry around in my work bag.

The only thing that blows my mind is that other brands like Leica sell for more than this.  And by more I mean a LOT more.

This printer is absolutely amazing; the print quality is breathtaking, whether in color or black & white. Yes, she's big and heavy, but quiet and solid. Some people think she's slow, but I think 2 minutes for an 8x10 is reasonable.

My only complaint is that the ink, superior and archival as it may be, is overpriced at $333 for a full set.

The product is terrific but the price is too high for such a small amount.

This is a great camera and terrific lens. But for the unwary or uninformed: this price is beyond ridiculous. The E-3, body-only, goes for $1350 now, the Zuiko 12-60mm lens for less than $1000. How these folks are getting away with charging $5325 for the two I can't imagine.

I bought this for my daughter and am eyeing it jealously. It's so beautiful, high tech and awesome that it's hard to believe it's only $29 dollars. Very modern and even has a charger. Haven't used the charger but I love it. Will try it out. Wish I could give it more than a 5. I can see buying more of these lamps. It gets moved around a lot -- believe me, even my wife loves it and she hates everything.

The stand itself is very nice, it's stable and stylish.  As others have said, it's packaged a little too well. I do think it's overpriced.  The carrying case is very well made, and probably represents half the cost of the item.  I don't know about other people, but I will not be transporting this stand unless I actually move, so the case is just a waste.  Who knows? Maybe I can repurpose it.  I would have rather not had the case and paid less for the stand.  Still....it is a great stand!

This is sheer and beautiful. However, I would not have bought it if I hadn't had a specific need, because it is way overpriced. That's why I took off a star in my review.  I guess we pay for the convenience of not having to run around to different craft stores to find it.  That's understandable.

This product is cool, don't get me wrong. However I found it ridiculously over priced for what you are getting.

This is amazingly well constructed, but it seems intended to hold more pages than it comes with, and extra pages are not readily available.  As some said, it is hard to close unless the pages are "centered" manually, but it certainly does hold the typical CD/DVD discs. NOTE:  It seems unbelievably overpriced by independent sellers - I paid under $5 for it, delivered.  Some sellers are asking 4 to 5 times that now.  One is charging $1000!  Look elsewhere until it becomes reasonably priced.

I'm not sure where all of the naysaying is coming from.  The fact is....this is a highly imaginative presentation of these movies, and when I picked it up from the post office this morning, it was more than I'd hoped for.  Consider it this way: The current Amazon price ($150) divided equally between the six movies values each movie at $25, hardly unreasonable for Blu-Ray, and especially considering three of them feature 3-D versions as well.  (I paid the $140 pre-sale price back in August, valuing the movies at $23 each from my own pocket).  That essentially makes absolutely everything else included entirely free:

1) The suitcase.  I honestly cannot fathom what people are referring to when they are reviewing this as being cheaply made.  It is more realistic than I would have expected, and the artificial circuitry inside it achieves maximum "cool factor."  The repeated complaints that the discs are hard to remove is laughable.  I'd barely opened the case when my 3-year-old daughter pulled Thor smoothly and effortlessly out.  And as for the clips and hinges being weak and fragile?  Again, it's been opened and closed several times today with no threat to their survival.

2)  The Tesseract.  I know there have been complaints about some of these not working, but I suspect that has less to do with the fact that it wasn't lighting up the way people expected and more to do with the fact that it doesn't give them magical powers.  These are the same unrealistic people who were expecting the briefcase to be metal.  Come on, people.  The fact is, even without the rapid-pulsing glow, just the constant glow underneath that lights up the whole inner parts of the briefcase (including the Tesseract) as well as the icon on the outside of the briefcase offers an awesome effect.

3)  The Artifacts.  Seriously, the degree of detail and imagination that went into the artificial memorabilia far exceeded my expectations.  I would have been satisfied with a couple of tongue-in-cheek character profiles.  These items go far beyond that.  I don't want to go into detail so as to allow people the same joyful ear-to-ear grin it gave me, but allow me to say that there was far more here both in quantity and quality than I ever hoped for.  I can't wait to study each item closely.

4) Bonus Disc.  I haven't even inserted this yet, let alone viewed it.  I have seen plenty of reviewers claim it wasn't nearly as much as they expected.  But remember that the $25 valuing of the movies doesn't include this disc.  Anything included on it is extra, and therefore FREE.  Stop complaining.

5) Digipak cardboard slipcases with new cover art.  Some may scoff at my including this as a feature, but truth be told, these very cool new illustrated art covers for the movies are a huge selling point to me.  Very classy move on this inclusion.

Of course then there is the simple fact that the movies themselves are fantastic.  So if you already own all six movies on Blu-Ray, is this worth it?  Very possibly not.  But no one ever claimed that the briefcase and enclosed items were worth $150, and I think that's what a lot of reviewers are forgetting.  The assumption here is that the people buying it probably own between zero and three of these movies (at least on Blu-Ray).  I myself only own Thor and Captain America.  I didn't mind the $40-$50 hit I took by purchasing these twice.  Someone who owns all six movies already (or I'd say at least four) will want to think seriously about the level to which they care about the extra goodies.

But is Amazon overpricing this for what it is and includes?  Absolutely not.
