So how much do you guys think I could get for these?

Because that's what costs to make them.

Unfortunately, the base cost of a product only means so much in the world of economics. If this item were in demand and assuming KP had no competition, it's true that he could charge whatever he saw fit. However, these posters are a niche collector's trinkets at best, so no matter what kind of paper they were printed on or how much trouble/cost KP actually went to to produce them, people will only pay what they think the product is actually worth.

You could also think of it like this: the paper may have cost a lot of money, but printing the map out onto the paper effectively lowered the paper's value in the eyes of the everyday individual as the paper is now only useful to someone who wants the map, so now KP's target consumer base is reduced by an exponential amount in comparison to what it would have been if he were simply selling high-quality printing paper.

By all means, though, you can try to appeal to that one person who will pay such an amount for these maps. I'm sure there's someone out there...

I lol'd!

Anyway, I agree with you, I just think he should put them a $155 price tag and try to sell them, if he has success he wins 5 bucks, if he fails he gets to keep them as is his current plan anyway.
