I guess the prices for Uniqlo are massively marked up in the United States. In Japan, pull-over sweatshirt costs 1,290 yen, or about 9.50 USD.

No they don't. That is the sale price and none are available.

> 2990 yen and up for regular price.

That's still only about $20 and up, so right there is a factor of 2x between Japan and the US.
