What's the most outrageous price you've ever seen?
 

Mine has to be the 50cl Evian for 7€ in our room at the Zürich Marriott.

Minibars - I've seen pretty ridiculous things there, and I fail to register these anymore.

Water at the 7-11 in Copenhagen was absurdly priced beyond all reason, although I don't recall how much now.

What kind of water? We like Haralds Kilde Vand for about 30¢ a liter carton.

Prices of Hotel/Motel rooms in the USA. Roaches for 100$ a night...

33 euros for a burger at Harry's in Venice.

For what?

((I))

Before the wall came down, the call from the DDR was so high from a hotel room that I blocked it out of my mind- can't remember. But we ended up going to the boarded/gated subways- and used a pay phone there which didn't want to accept the different and less valued coinage. But we got it to work- with one person throwing and the other using the phone.

Our local audience clapped.

The phone "out" fee was more than the lodging per day for the room.

Ira, obviously it's a general question...

probably a small coke at a cafe in Paris. The very small glass, about 6" tall about 3" in diameter was about 8 euro.

Read the menu first and don't go there, there are so many alternatives, no need to encourage these guys! You've got a choice in Paris.

Waaay back when, on a trip on which my luggage was lost, I paid something like $20 for a toothbrush in Copenhagen.

Not seen but heard - business associate not used to traevling called home a "few" times from hotel - no calling card, just picled up and dialed. NY to Oz. Think that her telephone bill at te end of week was US$1,500 for telephone

$14 for a cup of carrot soup at Harrod's in London.

Well, perhpas not the MOSt ridiculous but 1500 pounds for a pair of shoes at Harrod's...obviously to go along with the soup!

Not in Europe, but a very small silk flower (just one) to resemble an orchid in a very cheap terracotta bowl in a window of a store in St. Helena, CA. The price was $350.00. At target it probably would have been $5.95..although imagine the orchid would have not been made out of silk.
I had taken friends from Italy to St Helena and they still talk about that flower, LOL.
