Don't underestimate power of the fashionscape. I don't understand it, but most of the players do. Many end-game players would definitely buy those rares, no matter what the price is.
I ran pking server around 4 years ago where we decided to not release any rares for awhile. After around 1 year from the release of the server, we decided to add phats on the donation store for very greedy price, around $50 each. Many players bought them and that surprised us...
