The guy was being sarcastic about it being $500... wasn't saying it because he knew. You can see clearly how obvious he had no idea what the price was, yet a few goombas believed him. This is why we have problems in the world because people believe everything they hear without having proper context/evidence of proof to back it up. I think it's a cool unique piece. It's hilarious... just not sure if it's $250 hilarious.
