extortionately
At predatory prices
Extortionately means to an excessive or outrageous degree, especially regarding prices or demands: The restaurant was extortionately expensive.
The word carries the flavor of extortion—being charged so much it feels like robbery, even when technically legal.
More common in British than American English.
