supply and demand
if there were more of the "in demand" plugs out there, there'd be less demand and the price would go down. BM and Habs have been around a long time, have stood the test of time and are therefore in high demand - higher than either could/can maintain. Also, the fact that they're in demand, makes them more in demand because those that don't know why they are so in demand want to get some to find out. I hope that some of the newer builders have equal success over time. That will bring the market back down to reason. Example, if someone makes a danny that fishes and holds up like a BM (hopefully the bigfish) and is readily available (that will be the tough part), the demand for the BM danny will decrease. The problem is, that its almost impossible for a small, custom builder to keep up with demand when he comes up with something that everyone wants. whenever something is done in a limited run (plugs, baseball cards, sneakers, etc.) they're worth more.
