10 Outrageous Amazon Items That Are Pricey… Yet Tempting

If you have just started reading our articles, then welcome! If you’re a regular reader, no one cares anymore! We’re just kidding, we appreciate you all. Welcome to DrinkUp, friends! 

This time, we’ve created an article filled with extravagances and over-indulgence. We’ve sourced some of the most expensive things on Amazon, along with the strangest things to buy on Amazon solely for your time-wasting pleasure. 

Do we recommend you buy any of these outrageous Amazon items? Oh, heck no. Just making this listicle had us throwing up a little in our mouths. However, if you’re feeling a bit flush with your lockdown bucks, feel free to spend them here. 

Bear in mind that this listicle is meant for fun, although it is definitely possible that an idiot, we mean a reader, with deep pockets, might click through one of our affiliate links and make a purchase. If you’re that idiot, we mean, reader, then we should warn you that unknown vendors are asking insane amounts of money for these items, and they’re of an uncertain pedigree. 

The internet is full of ripoffs and scams, and although we tried to source only the most valid links for you, it’s entirely possible that somebody stole an image of something valuable, posted it on Amazon, and they’re waiting for some poor soul to make a purchase. Now, don’t get us wrong, we’re not saying they’re all scams, we’re just saying that it’s nutso money, so watch yourself, do your research, and be super careful.

On that note, let’s dive right in!

#1 Barrington Collection Premium Roll and Score Game – $749

Step right up, step right up – if you have too much money and not enough sense, then you could be a proud owner of a Barrington Skee Ball classic! This outrageous Amazon item is a modern twist on an old-time classic and is amongst an extensive collection of premium, recreational games. It contains modern technology, without sacrificing the traditional feel. 

It’s a creative way to enjoy a family game night, jazz up your basement, a decorative antique to make a room ‘’pop’’ in your house, or, a way for your wife to divorce you. 

What? Don’t blame us for your bad purchasing decisions! 

We can safely say that this one is unlikely to be a scam, Barrington offers a 90-day full refund or a replacement if you’re not 100% satisfied with your product. Still, though, do your research! 

#2 Meditation Pyramid – $1173

Meditation is beautiful. It helps you to slow down, calm down, not worry, and to be one with yourself. Do it under a $1000+ pyramid? And well, they say that this weird thing sold on Amazon is ‘’supposed’’ to naturally balance and align your chakras and meridians. 

They say that the reported benefits of the meditation pyramid include pain relief, aids surgical healing and that you can also use it for sleeping! If you sleep in it, it will help to protect you from astral influences, de-crystallize negative patterns or habits, and heal the body, mind, and emotions. 

Initially, we thought that you would just be able to grab a blanket and a pillow and sleep under it. But don’t worry, you can place it over your bed, desk, or chair to maintain a sacred space and transform and transmute negative energies. 

I guess this is cool, if you truly believe in the power of the pyramid. The seller states that this meditation pyramid is precisely handcrafted at the Buddha Maitreya’s Shambhala Monastery in Northern California! 

It includes:

• 4x 24k gold-plated copper corner connectors
• 4’’ 24k gold-plated copper capstone apex connectors
• And a set of 3 stage enamel coated copper poles 

Gotta be honest, we’re pretty tempted to buy one ourselves!

#3 Only for Rich Book: The Most Expensive Book – $2999

This is not actually the most expensive book on Amazon. But at $2,999, you’re paying a lot for a book of inspirational lines like «remember you are rich, but can always be richer’’.

We don’t even really know what to say with this one. However, we did read the comments and can assure you, they are probably worth more than the book itself. Give them a read yourself, trust us, they are HILARIOUS.

#4 Rocket Full-Size CD Jukebox with Bluetooth – Holds 80 CDs – $8995

This rocket full-size CD jukebox is not technically a weird thing sold on Amazon. In fact, it’s the finest modern example of a tribute to the 1950’s silver age of jukebox design! It’s hand-crafted oak wooden design comes with history as it is formed by artisans who have been building jukeboxes in the United Kingdom since the early 1970s. 

We won’t lie, this is probably our favorite! It includes label magic software that enables you to create your own title strips each time you update the machine with your favorite CDs. In addition to this, each Rocket CD Jukebox comes equipped with:

• A 240-Watt Digital D4 custom-built amplifier which supplies 60 Watts per channel through a 12-inch subwoofer
• Two midrange cone speakers 
• Two tweeters

If this almost $9000 jukebox isn’t enough for your man cave, game room, or home theatre, then nothing will ever please you!

 #5 A «Zero-Gravity» Massage Chair – $7,999

We know that there are plenty of massage chairs out there for a much cheaper price, but what makes this ‘’zero-gravity’’ massage chair unique enough that they’re able to charge $8000 for it? 

Well, they say that this overpriced item on Amazon includes DNA that «makes the best better». It ensures the highest levels of experimental luxury. It’s discreet, but at the same time, it celebrates natural finishes of simplicity and design. It also comes with a bunch of therapeutic benefits that have been orchestrated by a shiatsu master, with physical articulations to free you from the anxiety and mental stress of the day-to-day—quieting your body, clearing your mind, and loosening your muscles. 

It’s features are – 

• Full-Body Air Massage Coverage
• Foot Rollers
• Total-Body Heat
• Wall Hugging
• Chromotherapy
• Remote Control Featuring 10 Languages
• Link Massage

 #6 A 3-foot Slimer to Call Your Own – $1099

Fancy a nice memorabilia of your ex in your room? Well, you can get one today! Come on, give us this one, we haven’t said anything insulting or terribly unfunny for a few paragraphs now! 

If you haven’t already guessed, this 3-foot-tall foam ghost is from the 1984 movie Ghostbusters, and is definitely one of the weirdest things on Amazon. It’s hand-painted foam rubber and latex, and has been recreated using the original movie molds. 

This is a completely outrageous Amazon item, we know, and it’s exactly why we’ve chosen it. If you do decide to purchase it, make sure you scare your partner or the kids with it a couple of times before you throw it into the basement.

#7 Forever Flawless Diamond Infused Cream – $179.95

This is an anti-aging cream that contains diamond powder, and is definitely one of the most overpriced items on Amazon. Unlike any other cream you’ve seen before, the seller states that it hydrates, corrects, and protects the delicate skin around the eyes, but doesn’t every other anti-aging cream out there say the exact same thing? 

Seriously, do anti-aging creams ever work? Whether it’s got diamonds inside or not, this is one that you’d have to see to believe.

Ooops… we almost forgot we were doing Amazon affiliation. What we meant to say was, buy it! Who wouldn’t want diamonds in their facial cream? It’s great!

 8# Annies Homegrown Mac & Chs Rc Pasta Gf – $112.09

Can you imagine lashing out over $100 on some Mac & Cheese? This is one of the most absurdly expensive things on Amazon, and we’re seriously struggling to understand why. 

We know that Gluten-free food items are usually more expensive than just your standard groceries, but the idea of dropping that much cash on a single box of macaroni and cheese definitely makes this one of the strangest things to buy on Amazon.

We’re definitely not adding it to our cart as we speak just to see what all the fuss is about…

#9 Gourmet Peanut Butter & Jelly of the Month Club – 12 Months – $460

Considering you’re able to just grab a jar of peanut butter every time you go to the store, this really is one of the strangest things to buy on Amazon. 

It’s a subscription…to peanut butter and jelly. This isn’t the most expensive thing on Amazon, but it is a bit bizarre. However, If you’re a fanatic over peanut butter and jelly, it might just be an amazing deal!

 #10 Super Large Children’s Bouncy Castle

If you’re a big kid at heart, you’re going to love this. Especially if you’re a big kid with a whole lotta cash to spare. This bouncy castle is HUGE but also pretty incredible…aaanddd pretty pricey too!

This expensive item on Amazon means that you’ll have to have a garden big enough to fit a small amusement park. If you do, then you’re in luck! You can purchase this bouncy castle for the modest price of $4,360.

We know you’re probably thinking «is that all?». It sure is, and just in case you’re not able to sense the sarcasm, we’re obviously kidding!
