overpriced
Costs too much
Overpriced describes something that costs more than it's worth or more than it should.
The judgment is subjective—what seems overpriced to one buyer may seem fair to another: The drinks at the airport are ridiculously overpriced.
The word implies you're being taken advantage of, not just that something is expensive.
