Probably not to you or I or most folks. But it's already been created. As long as it's worth $200 to someone it's not like it's going to cost Nexon much money to deliver this digital content. When a company spends years alienating free-to-play and/or small spenders and catering to 0.01% of the market there's no longer a large enough playerbase to sell things cheaply at high volume so all they're left with are desperate moonshots.

The irony being that most of the people who would fork over $200 for digital content already maxed their museums long ago. But again, the work's already done, even if they only sell five of them at this point that's $1000 more dollars than they had before the sale. I expect to see $200 offers pretty much weekly from here until the end of the game's life. I'm sure whatever this event's big prize is will be available for the same price by Halloween. They can't really try to get folks to spend money on event passes, then spend unhealthy amounts of time competing in the event only to turn around and sell the macguffin for a reasonable price two or three weeks later. So here we are.

One would think though that since other digital content throughout the years is a sunk cost once it's created that they would occasionally try selling it for lower prices to engender some goodwill and word of mouth but that has not been their business model since at least early 2017. One need only look at their closest inspiration and most direct competitor to determine if that was really the wisest choice or not.
