Kind of like shaving razors. You can get the handle and the first
blade or two for next to nothing, but then they gig you on the blade
refills.

Inkjet printers come to mind, too. You can buy a nice HP printer for
$75, but a high-capacity black ink cartridge is $20-30, and you're
buying those for the life of the printer.
