That is bananas!

Today I went in search of the game Bananagrams as a gift for a friend. 

If you haven't played it yet it is a lot of fun.  The electronic game for your iPhone or iPod Touch is great fun too. 

Anyway, I found it relatively quickly...which is not something that happens often when I'm looking for US made products here...the problem was that it was priced at $45.90...YIKES!  I just checked on Amazon and they have it priced at $14.95.  Either it costs a whole heck of a lot more to ship things from the US or there is an incredibly insane mark-up on the price for the stores to make a killing profit.  The funny thing is that they are manufactured in China so it should actually cost less to ship to Singapore than to the US.

Needless to say, I did not purchase the super expensive version of Banagrams.  Instead, I bought UNO which was also probably over priced but not nearly as much.
