I new Mugen where expensive but I didn't know they were this expensive.

This site sells them but some people have to go to end meets and find collectors.

Mugens are no longer made and they are supposed to be amazing but I was reading an article about this and they said that if you put on oozora and a mugen next to eachother you couldn't tell the difference besides the paint on the ball and the mugen ball is slightly heavier
But what made then so desirable was the fact that they had so many standard colors and 2 special colors witch were gold and wine and also there poor distribution even when they were still making them also makes them hard to find
