[QUOTE="freebfrost, post: 2975492, member: 3713"] But that's *not* the case for luxury items. That is a seller's market. Believe me, I would have loved to order my custom RX8 from the car dealer down the street, but that didn't happen, and I had to find a dealer who could accomodate me. When I want authentic italian proscuitto, I have to drive across town to buy it. I have to search eBay, out-of-print gaming stores, and local bookstores to find the missing super-rare D&D items for my collection. None of that is convenient. None of it is cheap. And none of those items are necessities. If I want those items, it will cost me money, or time - essentially it costs me convenience. RA:R is a super-luxury item in a entire genre of luxury items. You can buy Rappan Attuk in other forms, much like you can get that used Ferrari on eBay or from a local luxury car dealer. But if you want the super-shiny new one instead, it will take effort, time, and money. [/QUOTE]
