So I was strolling around in the Tempe Fry's Electronics, which I now frequent because a while back they took down their "no weapons" sign. I'm going with my brother, who's looking for some thermal paste and other computer components, and I decide to check to see if they have any SureFires. Look around, nope. A bunch of Maglites and LED lights, though.
I need some spare batteries, so I decide to check the battery section, where I do see SF batteries... selling for the princely sum of a 2-pack for 8 bucks.
You can buy 'em in a 12-pack for 15 bucks off of the SureFire website.
I did notice, however, that apparently some people had been buying them, due to the fact that they weren't fully stocked. I'm guessing that whoever's in charge of setting the prices on those things has been spending too much time at a pawnshop, and this was a similar case of "some idiots will buy these no matter how costly they are".
Has anyone else ever seen anything ridiculously overpriced like that? I was greatly tempted to chat with an employee about it, but my brother had already gotten his gear and wanted to go.
