10 million because it's rare and useful and because I pulled that number out of my arse. There are no mats for the shirt, really. It's basically a rare drop. And, no, the market determines the price. Always has, always will. My opinion has nothing to do with it. Also, you don't seem to understand what oppurtunity cost is. Yes, if I sell it for profit at 500k, that's profit, technically. If I could've sold it at 5 million, though, it's still more or less a loss.
