Maybe I have been looking (or not looking) in all the wrong places but the prices I have seen in the airline duty free catalogs are no deal. The duty free airport shops don't seem to have very good prices either. It's as if they want you to get all excited about paying no tax so you will overlook the price.

That said, I did, only once, buy something out of the airline duty free catalog whilst in flight. It was a watch for my wife. I did not buy it because it was a great price, I bought it because it looked a lot like one she had stolen that she really loved.

Am I missing something? Am I shopping in the wrong stores? Set me straight if I am. I don't want to miss the deals!
