It sounds like a lot, but it looks like this in a museum gift shop. Their profit margins on these prints are probably comparable to anything else in the shop, but a lot of people don't mind if it's a nonprofit they want to support.

Yes, this is the official gift shop in the Roman Coliseum. I found it really strange that they would be selling 3d prints. It’s like, why?? If you want to sell plastic souvenirs, surely injection-molded plastic would be much more efficient, cost-effective, and higher quality.

It feels like maybe the gift-shop managers kid “had a great idea” for his new toy.
