 The price is a "buyer beware" or "what the market can handle" thing. I'm
sure no one in their right mind would pay that but who knows. Someone paid
a huge amount of cash for an apple 1 board a few months back. It was just a
double layer PCB with some 74LS chips, a CPU and some RAM. Maybe $40.00 in
parts at today's prices.

That's like complaining that a rare postage stamp sold for tens of
thousands of dollars, when it contains a fraction of a cent's worth of
paper and ink.  It's the rarity and historical significance that made the
Apple 1 so valuable.  Perhaps there's somebody that feels the SuperPet  is
worth $200 for similar reasons.  The relevant comparison is what comparable
items have sold for recently, not the cost of components.
