The price tag pretty well does that to me. Unfortunately, if you want
to pull full value to your technically rare item, you have to educate
most of the viewers to how much hit's worth. I mean, Radiant Silvergun
would pull a good price no matter what, but Timer Killers may well go
for standard cart prices if you don't hype it a bit.
