But if you look at one of the sales I highlighted last week, there were identical items to an earlier sale, but the prices were vastly different. I just think it's laughable some of the prices the Tastemakers charge and get!

However, for most people the prices for these items is ludicrous. It's as if these very wealthy people want to surround themselves with the appearance of owning "poorer" things. I doubt that many of them have ever used a metal tackle box and yet they want to use it to decorate their home.
