Still way overpriced. If my BTCeanie BTCaby collection is only worth a few dollars, then how can a digital currency that consumers are avoiding and merchants generally don't even like (all the customer service headaches) still be worth $230 each?

I mean, look at these little guys. They've got to be worth at least as much as a bitcoin.



Disturbing Fact:
[Ty Warner's] strategy of deliberate scarcity, producing each new design in limited quantity, restricting individual store shipments to limited numbers of each design and regularly retiring designs, created a huge secondary market for the toys and increased their popularity and value as a collectible.-- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beanie_Babies

So artificial scarcity isn't even Bitcoin's own idea?  Stolen from Beanies?  That's just so wrong! Angry
