Some pretty messed up stuff.

Not sure why the Youtube link is in German - the video is in English, and I don’t live in Germany.

    That doom box they’re selling is fucking ridiculous, $666 for doom 1 and 2, some cards a Tamagotchi that runs doom, a cassette tape and a box that runs doom… Like $300 would be too much for that.

      Personally, I think sellers can demand whatever they want for luxury goods. It’s on buyers to decide if it’s worth it or not.

      It’s still annoying for me people like me, who can’t afford these though.

        That would be the optimal case, however in reality, limited runs and other marketing tactics heavily manipulate people into buying overpriced stuff they don’t need. I think it’s unfair to put all the responsibility of deciding what acceptable prices are on the buyer, when companies spend billions in researching marketing tactics. That’s why there needs to be more guard rails coming from governments, so that consumers can’t be abused as much.
