What are some of the cost and time expensive features that should not be considered at the MVP stage?

Why consider building an MVP and what are its advantages?

@amanmittal: You should consider building an MVP to prove out your concept and avoid spending money you otherwise may not need to spend.

For example, say you spend $75,000 building a full featured amazing app that accomplishes your originally goal and many other things. You may find in several months in the market, your customers are not using these features; so you may have spent money where it didn’t need to be spent. This preserves your capital to later on improve features your customers are asking for.
