Rip Off Microfibre Towels

Autopians I am still in shock !!!!!

I just got back from the local mall and i come across this crowd around a salesman with a mic doing a demonstration of a miracle mop. I hear "microfibre towel" and my ears perk up.
I walk over and look at the price list. I saw Microfibre towel $A19.95. I look further just to check if it was a pack of 10 or somthing. I asked if that was per towel, the lady said yes. I would have looked like this > :scared

and then

. She said they are the best you can buy and I wont get them cheaper anywhere else. Right

The worst part is these were thin cheap MF's with thin pile, not very nice at all.

I still cant get over it. They were selling them like hotcakes as well.

Maybe i should sell a quality one for the same price, i might make a killing it seems.

Considering pakshak sells MF's for under $5 US we Autopians as always, have it good.

Sorry to "vent" like this but i figure some of you may be amused by it.

Hahaha! Funny you mention this Myles, I had an almost identical experience last year at a summer fair where there's a big building full of people selling their junk (PNE).

There was this nice lady selling MF towels from the Netherlands or something and charging $22 for a 14x14" or so towel!!!

For you Americans and Aussies that works out to about $16 and $24 respectively. I just smiled politely like this

and replied that yes, MF was the best cleaning cloth I'd ever used and that I used it for detailing.....

...then went and had a heart attack off in some corner.
