I mean yeah if you're literally the only guy in the entire world making it (I'm not joking, literally the only one. Some others make the same class of thing that would physically fit, but in the wrong style and lord knows why but it was a deliberate, and bad, decision) then you can charge whatever you want. Dude doesn't even have it patented or anything, the designs are public (since like the 60s) and if I had any woodworking XP I could sell the exact same thing legally. 'Course, I've never worked wood in my damn life, so..
Still, $465 is a lot for these items.
What exactly is this thing, I'm curious now
Eh, I really didn't want to be specific because it's unfortunately both exceedingly nerdy and somewhat controversial (not that it should be imo but it is), but, you a Fallout: New Vegas fan by chance?
Let's just say I can now patrol the Mojave and not worry so much about the cazadores, (but I'd still almost wish for nuclear winter, of course.)
