Something else to consider is that it might be priced that high to deter buyers.  Think about it... every monk would benefit from a Monk's Tattoo.  It you make their price lower, every Monk in the world that is able to scrape together the money would have one.  A smaller number of monks would be able to afford 80,000 gp.  The high price makes it so that a Monk would be able to buy one around 12th level, the level at which it is the most useful.  So for 80,000 gp, he gets +1 AC, +10 speed, and his damage increases from a d12 to a d20 (a big leap, and one that he gets 4 levels before other monks).  Then, once he gets above 20th level, it will still be worth keeping, since he will always be 1 step above another monk who doesn't have one.Based on this, I think the price is fine, if a little high.  65,000 gp or 70,000 gp at the lowest, IMO.  It's even better if you buy a true item which has these properties, since the price would be lower, but at the cost of an item slot.
