Eric Bolling of The Five said the other day that we should go on and support Olympians by buying clothing. I was curious what they had as offerings, and stopped by and was almost knocked over at the prices. $55 for a t-shirt????? How can they justify this? I am sure not too many people will be buying them at that price. Would love to see what their sales numbers are with prices that ludicrous.

But it is a collectors item!

Just like my Bay City Rollers Concert shirt...

The International Olympics Committee holds about as much meaning and credence as the United Nations and the Nobel Peace Prize Committee.

ZILCH. ZIP. ZERO. NADA. Right along side the NFL PRO-BOWL and the GRAMMY AWARDS. Total waste of time, money and energy.

[bigheadfred]

wow 55 smackers for a t shirt are you Putin me on

[vladimir998]

“How can they justify this?”

The Olympics is EXPENSIVE. Training for the OLYMPICS is VERY expensive. (And only yuppies buy that crap anyway) I’m JUST SAYING...

You have a bay city rollers shirt il give you a hundred bucks for it

[MeshugeMikey]

as if they didnt already have a bad enough reputation the grammy awards t is going to have a mass wedding as part of the “ceremonies” this year ..including several “gay” couple”.

we are fast becoming a bargain basement nation

[Howie66]

Well that makes sense.

We have a Bargain Basement Asshole living in our White House. Her husband is even less of a “bargain”.

Sounds like capitalism to me. Whatever the market can bear, that’s what they can charge. It’s a long time since the Olympics was a noble meeting of amateurs united in love of sport. And there were things on that site that were only about $10 when converting from rubles. I’m sure what they can’t sell outright to those who have seemingly limitless amounts of money to spend, theirs or other people’s, will be priced down to sell eventually.

I would bet you anything that if they sold shirts at $34-$40 they would sell far mar than they will at $55.

Think of it like taxes. Liberals always claim high taxes will raise a lot of money, when in fact lower taxes do. Amazing to see Conservatives fall for this.

mar=more

[dfwgator]

Looks like the Russians have figured out that whole Capitalism thing.

[Red in Blue PA]

Then why not charge $1000?

High prices are not the definition of capitalism.

[MeshugeMikey]

her husband is the most expensive..mistake. this Nation has ever made...or will likely EVER MAKE!

[bigheadfred]

NOW I KNOW! how empires die

[Irenic]

But it is a collectors item!
