These prices are insane! And the weird thing is that the site's showing multiple (in some cases dozens) of bids for items like single perfectly ordinary, even boring looking T shirts for over $100 dollars. Who'd be bidding at these prices and why? (Note: I have absolutely no knowledge of what the Fyre festival is/was or its relevance to anything, but even then, what makes it momentous enough for these prices?)
For some context: fyre festival was supposed to be a high end luxury all-inclusive festival. Essentially everything in the planning -- aside perhaps from the advertising -- went poorly to the extreme. In the end all that managed to actually get arranged was the flight to the island location. Once there people more or less found themselves stranded in a tent camp with no food and too few mattresses instead of the luxury festival they were promised.
There's a couple documentaries on the whole thing which I can recommend watching, it's almost impressive how monumentally poor everything got planned. The whole thing of course strikes a chord with the ironic-fashion crowd.
