I think you hit the nail on the head. The perc eived value
I read a story when I was a kid about an actress who went shopping for paintings. She entered Picasso's shop and was looking at a particular painting. Although there's no price tag, it was his best work and declared invaluable. Recognizing her as the actress he admired, Picasso sincerely offered it to her for free. The actress told him she did not want cheap stuff and bought a different one. Moral of the story is what Scimitar wrote.
As for me....I've tasted one of the item in the list...*cough* Pradoxurus hermaphroditus *cough*  I still say it's not worth it as I do not share the perception.
Money can't buy happiness, but it put you at better a bargaining position.
However... I believe that some things are beautiful for the very reason that they are unobtainable.
