Lets not forget the inflation of value caused by people with a "Meeee Tooooo!!!" mentality. We all know the guy who has stuff that is basically his version of the "Big Penis".
"I've got Major Havok #0002, it has 38 plays on it! Ain't it cool? I can't say what I paid for it."
Translation: "See what I have that you don't, and know that I don't even play it because I don't really care for it. I just want people to admire my game, and through it, admire me."
So now the other guy has to begin a search for MH #0001..... and the quest for the Big Penis continues......
I am much more impressed by the guy (or gal) with the beat up Defender who can get a million.
