I agree, it can definitely go over the top; at the CA Audio Show, I saw...

...what was in essence a $10,000 power strip. What made it "worth" this? It was enclosed in granite. It had flashy outlet covers. But based on the clear (plexi) version there it was a standard parallel connected set of outlets connected to copper bus bars. How much does copper wire cost, and outlets?

Sure, it looked nice, but this was audio jewelry to the extreme. And you still have to plug in your choice of expensive power cord, to boot!

Some of this really is outrageous, with regard to return on investment.
