I forgot how much Haumea was, but Ixion and Varuna were $8 each, while Eris was $11. You can convert them into USD for comparison.

It depends On Where I get them On the coast at a beach place they range from $1.99 to $6 bucks. I got my Straws At Petco for $7 bucks and Have paid around $4 bucks at various pet stores

I love how "painted shell crabs" re more expensive than natural shelled ones, even though there's no difference and the crabs will more than likely just change out of them as soon as they find a good shell. *shakes head* Marketing these days.

What size were the straws? Jumbo straws at the store I visited were $89.00 AUD ($61.30 USD), but I don't think the store will get any more after all their straws died earlier this year.

The conditions in which the jumbo straws were kept was absolutely horrifying.

I bought 6 micro e's from a tiny local pat store for $5.99 each. At Petco the small PPs are $3.99 plus my 20% discount. I can't remember how much they were at another small store I went to. Anywhere between $4-7. I adopt the hermies in really bad shape.

I get mine for around $7. Sometimes I get them for $10. While I was in PEI, I bought Darla for about $15 or more, yet again she's a large.

I have 4 straws, Three are medium sized and one is baseball size I got them around a year ago. The Petco I got them at said they were a mistake in the shipment and they diddn't have a scu number for them so they charged me the Jumbo PP price which was around $6.95. They all are thriving and all except the jumbo have been through 2 molts. When I Got them the Jumbo was bright red and healthy looking but the other 3 were pale light orange almost white. Two molts later and they are a Deep Red Orange with Red bands on their legs. My Jumbo was in A super small shell for his size but has since changed. I must have pretty good conditions in my tank because They are all very active and thriving! Ill Have to post some pics and share. I would like to get a few more straws but I Would never be able to afford the high price you quoted in the off chance they didn't make it.
