A bit like asking why first class seats LAX-LHR cost $10,000, isn't it? The answer is because that is what people are willing to pay for them 
BTW, I use www.airplanesuperstore.com
They are mostly 1:400 and 1:200 die cast metal printed with ink running in the $24-$60 range.
I know Austxhiker has a plane from there as his Flyertalk Survivor contest prize
...as does Shack over the matter of last year's NCAA Division 1-A Football Championship
