The japanese know that gaijin are richer and will coosoom anything with moon runes and shit. They do the same with yu gi oh cards, where japanese sets have rarer stuff.

The federal minimum wage in America is like 7 bucks thats usually less than one volume which goes for around 10. Could be that they have a low end job and not thay they live in a third world country lol
