Same way you can find a beat up Camaro on Ebay for 1000 bucks or you can buy a mint one for 15k, etc. It's a free country and the free market always weeds out inferior products in the long run. Of course if you use one site or classifieds to base your prices on you are not getting the full picture of the overall market.
Exactly. Quality will always command a better price. I've seen pastels for $85 males, $125 females. I've also seen some nice ones for $400 that I would buy any day over their cheaper, often ugly conterparts.
