If you have more money than you know what to do with, this list is for you. If you want a good laugh at the stupid things people overpay for this list is also for you. MSNBC has come up with a list of the world's most overpriced products and if you need a $85,000 3D TV or a $1,400 HDMI cable they've got you covered.

When . . .
In case you don't read the article I had to share the #1 product with everyone:
#1. Text messaging from AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile, and Verizon (20 cents a message)
With all the high-priced gizmos out there, how does a 20-cent text message make my #1 spot? Let’s do a little math. AT&T charges 20 cents per text message. A single text message is limited to 160 characters, which is at most 160 bytes in size. So, 1 GB of bandwidth can handle about 6.25 million text messages. Multiply 6.25 million by 20 cents and you find that the cell phone companies are charging $1.25 million per GB of data for text messaging. If you’re a heavy texter, texting plans from the carriers can drive cost per gigabyte down into the tens-of-thousands of dollars. Or use that old standby, email, instead.
