Scotch

3 years ago, I took a vacation to Japan for 3 weeks, and had a fabulous time, despite getting lost frequently.
On the way out, I realized I still had some cash left, and stopped by the Duty Free store to pick up something interesting - I happened upon a bottle of Yamazaki 18 yr single-malt scotch. It ran me something like 6500 Yen (or about $60 or so).
I'm almost out (like, literally, about 2-3 shots). And a little research shows me that a bottle runs about $140. :O

I once got three books, and light books at that, from Europe. Including the cost of the books themselves, it was $110. And that was using DHL and being shipped by a private, not-for-profit friend of mine. When companies are involved, prices go up.
