For inquiring minds who want to know, I do most of my shopping online.  Unless there’s a super sale going on, you’ll hardly find me at a crowded shopping center to find a deal.

A couple days ago I discovered a neat looking Space Invaders Hoodie from an online seller.  Since my wardrobe is already lavished with video game fandom, this hoodie would make a decent addition to my collection.  Unfortunately, a cost of 150 dollars; the price tag doesn’t amuse me at all.

Such a lame attempt at price gouging is a pathetic sight to behold.  I’m not going to reveal the seller of this item nor do they warrant any free advertising from me.  Who do they think they are?  The Loui$ Voo-ton of Video Game Fashion?  This is Space Invaders for crying out loud!

Don’t take me wrong.  The design has an appealing look, even the neon highlights is a definite attention grabber.  Too bad a high price point will turn off many fans.  Plus, similar clothing can be found at a way cheaper price by simply going to established merchants such as CaféPress or eBay.  Heck, I could get my two year old nephew to design a better looking hoodie with his crayons. 

In the end, I’ll take my online shopping somewhere else; far away from this pseudo-urban style of fashion that smells like cow manure on a hot Summer day.
