Is This the Most Overpriced Item You've Seen? $65 for 1.7oz Spray Remover

Topic Explanation
The forum discussion revolves around the high prices of ostomy-related products, specifically a 1.7-ounce can of Coloplast adhesive remover listed for $65 on eBay. The original poster is seeking information on other overpriced items and where to find better deals.

Advice and Insights

1. General Observations on Overpricing:
- Many ostomy-related items on eBay are overpriced due to sellers 'fishing' for buyers who are willing to pay high prices.
- It's common to find products listed at inflated prices, but there are tools and methods to find better deals.

2. Insurance and Pricing:
- Some users get adhesive remover spray cans free through insurance, while others buy them occasionally for around $16 per can.
- Insurance coverage for these products can vary, and some users have to pay out of pocket.

3. Alternative Shopping Options:
- Medical Monks sells adhesive remover spray for under $20.
- Health Products for You offers Coloplast Brava Ostomy Care Skin Barrier Spray for $10.95 each, with shipping costs and potential discounts for bulk purchases.
- My Care Supplies offers the correct product with free shipping on orders over $50.

4. International Insights:
- In Australia, supplies are covered 100% by Medicare, with a small postage fee and an annual association fee. This includes a wide range of products, although some items have been recently removed from the list.

5. User Recommendations:
- ShopOstomySupplies.com is recommended for low-cost and quick shipping.
- Another user found Bob's recommended site to be cheaper, with spray bottles priced at $11 and change each.

6. Product Preferences:
- Some users prefer specific types of Hollister bags, such as the softer, non-see-through bags with roll-up closures, over the cheaper, noisier plastic ones.

7. General Sentiment:
- There is a shared frustration over the high prices of essential ostomy products, with some users expressing disbelief and anger at the inflated costs.
