"Uh, the Partiot dripper is $67.00 and some change." He said it to a guy just coming into vaping. He said it and didn't flinch---zero facial expression. Completely shameless. Pricing at these B&M stores is just ridiculous.

An authentic one is around that price.. isn't it? A clone of course will be much cheaper...
B&M have to have a higher price to pay for over head and employee pay. (hey they got to make a profit also.). And they ain't China. 
That's about what I paid for mine. It's not out of line at all, and the margin between that and the cheap clones isn't so much as to tempt me to downgrade.
An authentic Patriot is around that price range. Now steering a completely new vaper to a rebuildable dripping atomizer may be a bit much. Unless the customer had experience before with vaping, I would probably have steered them towards a tank system to start. Reason: (1) RDA's give you a really intense flavor and vape. It may be a bit much for someone who is just coming over to vaping from analogs. (2) To a brand new vaper, dripping after every few puffs can be a pain. This causes his chances of success with vaping to diminish. Get him the convenience of a tank system, that gets the initial habit to change to vaping, then introduce him to upgraded flavor.
There is a shop in my town, a popular head shop turned wannabe vapor shop, selling clones at authentic prices, and telling their customers that they are authentic. Ive known this for months and called them out on it before but finally it seems karma is catching up with them. I heard someone that got scammed on a RDA contacted the real manufacturer about it. I suspect the head shop got a letter or phone call from a lawyer because their inventory of authentic (clones) mods and rda's disappeared from the displays. This kinda crap really pisses me off. I can only imagine how the scammed customers feel.
Ahhh, Thanks for the responses...I thought the authentic was much less- My bad---good to know this shop is straight then---at least on that topper.
