This is some sort of sick joke, right?

Certainly there is a market for overpriced goods and Disney is never one to let a dollar slip bye.

Some people like to pay top dollar for stuff. It shows a "Hey I can afford this and you cannot" type of vibe. Paris Hilton is the poster child for this.

To an extent, it does not matter what the item is just that's it's more than most people are willing to pay. You could take the price tag off the shirt and move it to another one with the same result. As long as there were not too many available. Part of what you would be paying for is having less copies on the market.

I have to admit, I don't always get why one item of clothing costs more for another. When buying swimsuits for example, I am really annoyed at the price. I mean, there's hardly any material there, what's all the money for? It was explained to me that it's because swimsuits are a pain in the ass to make, and take more effort than your average pair of pants.

And if these were limited edition, I'd have been far less shocked.
