See also, Tumblr sells them for $7.99 which is cheaper than other websites https://staff.tumblr.com/post/700564142648606720/hi-were-int...

They haven't published a sale price. Doubt very much if Matt Mullenweg over paid for it. If the price is low enough that Tumblr cash flows or close to it with existing advertising revenue then it was a pretty smart purchase.

To be fair, they also sell things like this for $59: https://teenage.engineering/store#po-20

For instance, “Window Tidy” or “Magnet” ($0.99). There are probably others.

Which is 399$, which they hide until you actually put into your cart for some reason.

This does seem really...niche

$7.50? Try living in New Zealand where the only option is $49.50 shipping: http://i.imgur.com/PR6V6SN.png

This image from the order page implies 'yes': https://cdn.sanity.io/images/0e4kwcjv/production/6b0df7dbf80...

Although $12 ($17 inc shipping to US) for 8 tips doesn't seem too expensive to me.

More like $22.99 for a pack of 100 apparently: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00GXV4IGC/ (No affiliation, those were the first I found)

But prices are often $.99 cents, or $9.99, or $99.99, etc.

EDIT: Ok, ignore. Article mentioned it.

These are probably pretty arbitrarily priced so someone thought they'd be cute & everyone else picked up this rate.

sz4kerto | karma 10329 | avg karma 7.29 · | 2016-10-05 13:55:13+00:00

They're around $5.

chiefalchemist | karma 6140 | avg karma 0.92 · | 2018-03-29 22:44:34+00:00

Funny enough, I think I've seen them on sale for less than $3.
