Why are tr1p1ea's still so expensive?

DJ Omnimaga:
Can somebody explain to me... why do tr1p1ea's still cost this much in 2014, over half a decade after most electronic devices, including newer calcs and game handhelds, switched to that (often built-in) rechargeable stuff that exists now? I mean, is the demand still really that high? Even in dollar stores where you could get decent packs of 2 tr1p1ea's 5 years ago for $1 now charge $2 for the same package.

By that logic, the original Playstation 3 model would cost over $800 today instead of $200. (it launched at $700 over here) :P and basic computer leyboards would probably be around twice their 1995 costs. :P


Unless... of course, tr1p1ea's are expensive because of the name? At least d0ub1ea's are twice cheaper (I never understood why though, although nowadays they're even more useless since lower-end cameras are being replaced by smartphones) but still quite pricey :trollface:

At the store where I work, I can buy  pack of 8 tr1p1eas for either $1 or $1.50 (I forget). They are cheap store-brand ones, though.
