Would you buy this?

they're rare, and hard to find. however, tetsuya nomuras autograph may be rare, but all you need to get it is to go to japan and stalk him all day until he gives you his autograph. to get diamonds you need to, find a diamond mine, probably do a bunch of stuff for access to it, and hope you get lucky and find a diamond. also, diamonds have a purpose, they're used in jewlery. tetsuya nomura's autograph is used to decorate the walls of kh and ff fans.

 

I didn't say anything about work. Diamonds are valuable because they are rare. Only a few are released into circulation each year. It's the law of supply and demand. Since there are very few posters signed by Nomura, but there is demand for them, therefore, the price is higher. If you could buy a signed poster in every comic store in the world, they'd probably be worth a few cents. Considering this is essentially a one of a kind, there is a ratio of supply to demand of 1:However many people want this. Note how a couple people in this thread expressed interest in it. Fundamentally, Diamonds and autographed posters are the same. They are goods that are explicitly limited solely for the profit of their sellers. People want them for some arbitrary reason or another, but they are functionally useless. Both COULD be applied in a functional way, such as using the diamond as a cutter, or burning the poster for heat, but nobody wants to do that.

Also, why do you consider decorating your room and decorating your body different?

Finally, this poster could be used for practical purposes. It could be resold for a profit, or as a mentioned earlier, forging his signature to write cheques and steal his credit card.
