Why would anyone want to pay a hundred dollars for a limp stuffed animal? Let alone get into a physical fight over one at a store? It makes no sense, but you just have to remember the Beanie Baby craze for a perfect demonstration of the power of artificial scarcity.
(admittedly there's a small Beanie varanid sitting on my desk right now, and it used to be on top of this display before I bought a flatscreen ... but I had to: it is obviously a monitor lizard!)
