The idea is these items are exclusive. Exclusive things aren't cheap, in general because many hold them valuable. CF is only shortchanging himself by selling low. Honestly, I'm past blaming the gougers. The caps clearly are actually worth more than they are being initially sold for. The only way to stop the gouging without increasing production, from my perspective, is to simply increase the cost. You might not think a CC is worth $60, but at the current market state, you are undervaluing CCs greatly.
I'm not trying to hate on anyone in the community, and am not saying this is the right way (I think production should be increased greatly, with "collector's" editions being available for people who want to feel special). What I really want is CF to actually get the money he deserves as the artist, as opposed to these gougers who clearly only see dollar signs and only want to exploit members of this community. They may be scum, but I understand why they are doing what they are.
Cheers,
