It seems it might be one of those items that's considered by sellers to be worth far more than they actually go for. Someone recently attempted to sell a size small with an opening bid of $299.99 (that's almost three hundred dollars!!!) on the eBay. No bites, so it has been relisted with a Buy It Now price of $324.99. (Makes sense. Wait, huh?) The reproductions get listed for high prices and go unsold. To me that just seems like someone thinking "This thing is worth a fortune!!!" and sticking to their belief in the value despite what the market tells him. Full disclosure: I have one in XL I intend to sell (or attempt to sell) some day but am wondering if I should just wait for rainbows to start shooting out of everyone's butts again (I hear that's any day now) before I bother.
