: : Dogma dvd from View Askew, signed by Kevin - 24.95
: Dogma dvd from Affleck.com, signed by Ben - 35.99
: hell the Armageddon and Good Will Hunting dvd's are 55.99, and 45.99, respectively.
: Why such high costs? should i ask this perhaps on Affleck's board?
a) If I recall your referencing the Criterion Collection of Armageddon which is expensive to begin with and it's two disks.
b) his proceeds do go to charity as mentioned and his site has been consitently loosing money until they got their merchendise section up an running, at least that's the answer the give on the Affleck.com wwwboard.
c) Unfourtunately fair market value of anything signed by Ben is going to be higher than things signed by Kevin becuase Ben is huge star and sex symbol and plenty of 13 year old girls are perfectly willing to sell their souls to get $60 bucks to buy a DVD signed by him. That's supply and demand for you. Your not really paying for the DVD or whatever your paying for the signature, but it's not like he's just greedy, he does donate everything (after overhead) to charity so rest easy.
