40x the price of a Dunny, say isn't so...

I became privy to some info over the weekend from one of Tomopop's writers Leah Bayer who went on a recon mission to Kidrobot NY and discovered some pretty shocking price hikes to some common figures. As you can see from the pictures above they are asking $800 for the 8" Obey Dunny where you can find one online normally between the price range of $65-$85... $800 is pretty ridiculous, but this kind of practice is expect at a boutique store such as Kidrobot, and I am a firm believer in if people are willing to buy something for that price... that is what the piece is worth. I can see also from the collectors stand point where this rubs them the wrong way, but you always have to think they run a business, and a business main goal is to make money so....

Leah brings up some really good points and the article is a very great read, so please hit the jump HERE to go check out the rest of it along with more pictures of some pretty high priced mediocre items!
