I look at that and think the price tracks. I mean, raw materials alone are crazy. Site prep isn't free. Labour to fabricate and assemble? Not free. Moving this thing from A to B? Also not cheap. You're going to want every company who touches this thing to be insured - that ain't cheap. Like, if this topples over and injures you, you're going to want to be able to assign blame and seek compensation.
I honestly don't think anybody is retiring off this price. Do you work with industrial fabrication/manufacturing? Total price tag of $2.5 million is not crazy.
Here's a
car for sale at the Calgary Porsche dealership for $330,000. Some dude that I guarantee you'll know through three degrees of Kevin Bacon will buy this thing and drive around for a while until he crashes it in a few years. It'll mostly live in his garage and be enjoyed by him when he feels like cracking a beer and staring at his cool car in his garage.
This art piece will last generations, looks cool AF, will be enjoyed by
millions of people over the decades and only cost 7x more than a fricken car, dude.
To think that price is "outrageous" speaks more to your own naivety than the actual value/worth.
