While shopping online there are also occasions when customers are shocked to see an unusually high price for a common item. Recently, the price of a modest cot was revealed on an American online store for 1 lakh 12 thousand 168 rupees.
Online store Etsy has offered an Indian bed for sale on its platform, which if bought in the general market can easily be bought for 10, 12 thousand, but Etsy has priced it at more than 1 lakh rupees.
The platform lists Charpai as a traditional Indian bed with very beautiful decorations. The product description mentions that it is a handmade product made from ropes made from wood and jute bark. The specifications also include the dimensions of the cot and the details of the materials used.
The platform also says that the charpai is being sold through an India-based store and is currently in limited supply, with five customers already booking the charpai.
It should be noted that this unusual price for a common item is not unusual. Even before, people have seen ordinary products being sold at exorbitant prices, ranging from garbage bags worth over Rs 1 lakh to folding chair bags worth Rs 66,000.
