Ouch, that's some mark up from the $75 price tag. It's like those auctions for the 15th anniversary tiki farm stuff sold at Wackos. Folks paid $50 and are trying to flip them for 3x that. Even though a slightly different glaze are now for sale on the website for so much cheaper. Is the Tiki Ti getting a piece of that profit on top of the retail you paid? Regardless of what the "going rate" is, seems like it's less of a favor to those who couldn't make it and more of a benefit to your wallet. I'm sure the argument will be "Well, they sold for $200", but fail to mention that in an auction, back on Oct 24th, it went for only $124. So the average is all over the place and your own previous auctions shouldn't be justification for such high rate scalping. But hey, I'm sure someone will buy it.
