IT's Most Outrageous Markups? 194
masteritrit asks: "I have seen some really outrageous markups from IT companies. Cisco sells memory for a router I have for $1500 bucks and I bought it directly from Kingston for $56 bucks. I also had someone at storagetec accidentally reveal that their standard markup is 700%. What are some examples of this that others have seen and how do you feel about it?"

Actually, I was thinking that a markup of <ERR DIV_BY_ZERO>% was more appropriate.

So we crack the case to put in the new RAM, and what do we find? The *exact same* Kingston RAM module is already providing us with our first 512 MB of memory. Priceless.
