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.

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.

I like the Cacodemon more. Both the floating one and the one that you can play doom on. Let's pool our money and buy it together, you keep the Box, I'll keep the Cacodemon, we can sell the rest for $500

It's kind of a bad financial decision. If you still want to that's your decision but people shouldn't buy it without knowing they could get a better deal elsewhere. That's why these things get called out for being too expensive, not because they aren't or shouldn't be allowed to, but because people deserve to know it's a horrible deal.
