PEOPLE ARE CRAZY!

So this is a Starbucks gift certificate that you can buy for a mere $450. That means it has $450 loaded on it, right? No. It means you get $400 loaded. The extra $50 is so you can give your recipient the gift of a beautiful, hand-crafted metal gift card, which is a thing people want, apparently. It’s one of only 1,000 cards, and it stopped selling at noon today, so you better get yourself to eBay if you’re in need of a Veblen good this holiday season. One guy is even offering a “Buy It Now” option for a mere $5,000! You can get it cheaper elsewhere but isn’t the whole point to say you spent $5,000 rather than, I dunno, $800?
