1. I had the money to blow on stuff like this. 2. I had the money to blow on stuff like this so I could spend it more wisely. 3. People with the money to blow on stuff like this would put it to better use. Weird that people would spend so much for an Obi-Wan robe, when Guiness himself disliked the films so much and probably wouldn't want anything to do with his wardrobe from them afterward.
