They are indeed outrageous. It reminds me of the old "Peanuts"
carton. In the first panel, someone (Linus?) has a stand with a sign
"Lemonade $100 a glass." In the second panel someone points out that
most people won't pay that, and in the third panel he replies "But
think of the profit if I sell just one."
I actually wanted to buy /Good Eats/ DVDs as gifts last Christmas,
but the prices were _way_ too high. I think Food Network is making a
mistake by selling only direct -- selling through distributors I'm
sure the price would go down but the volume would go up.
