What an outrageous price for a paper clip.

Pretty sure it's lined with gold, why else would something cost this much for something so unnecessary
Edit: Pffft the best part is I totally missed the gold plated part. I'm too tired to be on the internet -_-

It's like they're catering specifically to people who burn 100 dollar bills to light their diamond-encrusted Cuban cigars.

Since the paper clip holder is mostly made of gold, I can see $72 being a reasonable price for it.
Edit: Never mind, the price could have been a bit lower.

Part of me thinks the merch guys saw the ANN article about unnecessary Sailor Moon merchandise and thought that they could outdo themselves.

Mostly made of *metal*, not gold. It's gold-plating over some cheap metal, It's nowhere near 1:1 scale, it's an over priced papeweight.

In that case, then, I take back what I said.
