I had a hard time consciously reconciling paying over $100 for a trash can when I got mine. Best investment I could have made. Adds serious functionality and class to my kitchen.

*Just don't buy their overpriced proprietary trash bags, normal 13 gallon kitchen bags fit fine

I have one in my garage that I've been treating like a dumpster because the lid broke. Just found out I can buy a replacement lid for $20. Should clean up nicely and find use back inside somewhere!

Yeah, my partner bought a bin from John Lewis here in the UK (a sort of 'higher-end' shop). This one, though at the time, I could have sworn it wasn't as crazy as £200.

Still, it's the kind of item that you literally interact with every day of your life. Compared to the kind of things you can waste your money on, a bin is pretty damn practical.
