Showmeyomoves! Posted December 27, 2010 Report Share Posted December 27, 2010 (edited) I want to see the Captain America sweater. Either here or in Tali's fashion thread. http://www.walmart.com/ip/Men-s-Captain-America-Hoodie/14690959 Ten dollars? Just TEN FUCKING DOLLARS for a hoodie? With a print? Clothes are so goddamn cheap in the US... A printed t-shirt would run you at least 20 euro's around here. Edited December 27, 2010 by Showmeyomoves!

There's so much competition. Also it helps when Chinese slaves are making the clothes. Cheaper that way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering everything else is more expensive over here, I guess it makes sense that clothes are no different. But ten dollars...? Damn.

Showmeyomoves! Posted December 27, 2010 Report Share Posted December 27, 2010 But... it's a Captain America hoodie! Like, I'm wearing a similar Spider-Man hoodie right now. I don't remember how much I paid for it, but it was probably 40 euro's if not more. Same thing with shoes. When I was in Japan, all the Dutch guys were like "Whoa, shoes are cheap here. Gotta buy a few to take home." And all the Americans were like "Why the hell are you buying shoes here? They're super expensive!" And we were like O_O Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And we were like O_O Yeah, usually I order Adidas shoes online for about $40. America freaking rules. Also I found it hilarious that asian people will come to america and buy electronics and take them back to asia where they were made becasue it's cheaper to buy them here. A lot of it has to do with taxation rates, tariffs and such. Edited December 27, 2010 by Yantelope Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah well a woman I used to work with had friends from Scotland come over to visit her a few years ago. They literally came with empty suitcases (or they bought one at the Salvation Army/Goodwill or whatever) and went on a shopping spree at Wal*Mart, Target, JCPenny etc. and came home with a full wardrobe. Supposedly that saved them so much money it helped justify the trip. America: Land of cheap clothing and food. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheMightyEthan Posted December 27, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 27, 2010 Smooves, that's not a normal American price. I would expect to pay $40-$50 for a decent hoodie usually. I'm just as shocked at how cheap that one is as you are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brida Posted December 27, 2010 Report Share Posted December 27, 2010 why has no one pointed out it's WALMART i mean that accounts for the price disparity like talking about steam or amazon or something Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyEthan Posted December 27, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 27, 2010 People have pointed out that it's Walmart, but I don't think that accounts for all of the price disparity. I still would have expected it to be like $25. But even before the sale that one was $17. *Edit* - Also Smooves, it's probably really really crappy in terms of quality/warmth/etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hot Heart Posted December 27, 2010 Report Share Posted December 27, 2010 it's probably really really crappy in terms of quality/warmth/etc. Yeah, your friends/family buy you crappy gifts, Yant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyEthan Posted December 27, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 27, 2010 HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! I missed the part where it was a gift for Yant. But now we can verify! Yant, is it crappy or is it nice and just surprisingly cheap? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheMightyEthan Posted December 28, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2010 Yeah, that's my experience with Walmart clothes: good for the price, but not "good". Just as a general rule, obviously any particular item can be better or worse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
