Why is someone paying over $100 for a raw Watchmen #1?

I love comics and I love capitalism. I love the Watchmen series, too. But this doesn't make a lot of sense to me. Isn't this more than a 9.8 would go for? Can anyone 'splain it to me?

That's my Patented Charlton Guy Cloning Device!

 

I am currently using it to pump out a whole long-box of these babies in time for the movie.

 

But watch it folks, you don't want to try this at home.

That seller seems to have a fairly loyal following too. I don't understand.

[MedicAR]

Somebody's ready:

 

 

I'm after a 9.8 collection of these. Just some time before I die.

[bug33fouf]

how much will a set go for now?

[Ivanko]

If I remember right, the "V" stuff went a little crazy before it's movie as well.

[nickwire]

you can still get them easy at cons for 5 dollars

[dekeuk]

 

They are paying $122 because they think its a 9.8.

 

A #1 on ebay in 9.8 goes for $1000
