These are neither rare or difficult to get hold of, indeed StockX is selling them for ยฃ240 and other more reputable sources at slightly higher prices.
Why do they continually receive such greater prices at auction? Am I missing something or can people really just not be bothered to Google things prior to placing a bid?

Do they ship internationally? Iโd looked at them there previously but didnโt get as far as looking at the shipping options. To he comes a member, do you need to do more than provide contact details?

Don't know about international shipping as I'm in the US. I became a member to buy these because it was cost effective at the time. Just had to give contact info, and I got a few catalogs in the mail that I like leafing through.

The auction success has always baffled me too. Saw them going for ยฃ900 at auction when they were freely available for about ยฃ225. Thought I must be missing something.

Yourโs actually looks slightly different from the usual ones Iโve seen. The stem looks shorter and the shape is slightly different too. Do you remember where you got yours from? I have seen a few variations. I have one from a holiday to Japan & have always wondered the same as the OP!

Prints and old huge additions by Koons or Hirst still go for high prices at auctions when you could pick them up for much less at a gallery, and without paying buyer premium

Itโs cute These ones definitely werenโt at Mori when I was there some years later. Only the yellow/black and red/white ones like in the OPโs image.

Yeah Artsy is not the best site to reference sales. Therefore it should have a pretty high value as itโs an old one. I have all the Naoshima set + a couple of yellow ones. Their quality is awesome.yu
any pics of them?!
