Those stats are quite low, but selling things for high prices (especially when it is new), is just how the market works. Eventually the prices will drop. (like with lets say Samsung.. They bring out a phone for 1000 euro (in my opinion way overpriced, so i will never buy such a phone), but after a few weeks/months the prices drop to 600/700)
And there are lots of animals, especially albino or 4x100 animals, who are worth 10k or even more for a lot of people.
