Interesting. What would you say of the psychological need to "create" scarcity as a way of instilling meaning, and giving people something to compete over?

I speak as somebody who just found my favourite PS1 game on ebay, for $500. Apparently, its a cult classic and a collectors item.

To me, this implies that some degree of scarcity will always re-establish itself, through our own capacity for boredom. I'm curious what you think.
