There's a Saint Laurent jacket listed for $100,000.
I've noticed that there is a weird thing happening on Grailed where a person lists items he has no real interest in selling, typically the listing has a wacky price that no one would pay. Instead, the person just wants to show off their wardrobe of rare/pricey items. It's like people are trying to turn Grailed into a show-and-tell forum. It's a "look what I have" listing that's not really a listing. It's odd.
Remember that nutty guy who listed many BBS hoodies in one listing and bitched about how he was ill-treated at the BBS store - they didn't recognize his status as an important customer. His response was to play act at dumping his collection online. In his own mind he was keeping the BBS business afloat by purchasing one hoodie every season. He had a crazy price on his collection of hoodies and talked about them like they were a museum-quality collection that deserved acknowledgement. He just wanted a little respect. Looking to strangers online to praise you for your dumb collection of hoodies is interesting in a lot of ways as an onlooker, but it has nothing to do with hoodies.
Then there is the guy who posted his collection of what must have been 25 pairs of CCP footwear. No interest in actually selling. I don't remember his price but it was nutty. He wanted to flex for the folks on Grailed. All he achieved was looking like a fool.
Grailed can be a useful tool. It can also be a window into psychosis.
