Exorbitant and fleecing

Hi

Are exorbitant and fleecing common in everyday English? Any better/more natural choices? Are these sentences natural?

He was selling vegetables at exorbitant prices.

He was selling vegetables at fleecing rates.

Thanks,

Tom

Mr. Tom He was selling vegetables at exorbitant prices. I think most people would find this unremarkable.

I find this unnatural. "Fleecing" does not make a good adjective.
