Overpriced shit I wouldn't buy...but still want: Balloon Edition

If you know me you know I like balloons a lot, I would honestly prefer a 12 balloons than 12 red roses. So a few weeks ago I stumbled upon unelefante.mx, a mexican online store specialized in balloons, really really expensive balloons. $500+ pesos (around 38 dollars) expensive.

CANVAS 

You could ask why they are so expensive when its practically a sack full of human breath, I would like to answer your questions, but sadly, I have no answer. I looked on the website for an explanation. Maybe the balloons wont deflate for a year? Maybe when they pop they will have magical confetti inside? Oh... and they charge for shipping. Yep.

And then, browsing through the most recent Anthropologie Sale e-mail, I fount this:

This one retails for 68 dollars

Is this some sort of trend? Is there a market out there for a seriously overpriced balloons?
Does the balloon arrive inflated? 

Would you buy one? Would you want one? Leave your comments bellow.
