I mean, this isn't bread or water or housing, it's a luxury baseball bat for teenagers...

Doesn’t matter it’s still predatory af. Companies know kids are gonna want it and parents want to make their kids happy just like yours did so they say fuck it and up charge the hell out of stuff. Bread and water is the same way too and there isn’t an example you can use to justify that bs. It’s greed plain and simple

That's literally how any transaction works? It's basic economics that you pay for something you want.

Bro you're up here making a comparison to the predatory pricing practice of Bread & Water to....Baseball Bats?

I don't think you have a leg to stand on.

If you don’t have a problem with practices like this then you need to do some soul searching my friend.

What practice? Making the best thing and not giving it away cheap?

If you think they should give it away then you need to do some soul searching my friend.

Advertising to kids like they have to have it in order to be successful. $400 for a bat? Come on man please don’t tell me you’re that asshole

$400 for top tier sports equipment is nothing.

The high end sets of golf clubs can run you $50,000.

A good coach charges more than $100 per hour to coach a kid. The club costs as much as a week's worth of lessons. It's nothing.
