Some people actually enjoy overpaying for stuff, because it’s a status symbol for them.

If they sold that same sandwich for $6, a lot of New Yorkers who have an elitist attitude might turn their noses up at it. But slap a $29 price tag on it and they have to have it.

My brother used to work in an upscale deli on the Upper East Side. They sold their "homemade" mayonnaise packaged in those little cardboard deli containers, at premium prices. Their recipe: Open a jar of Hellman's and scoop it into deli cartons.
