Not really, most of them spend everything they have on anime.

What gets me is people paying that much for obviously pirated material.

These people are the very ones that should get arrested. It's one thing to share something that you don't own but it's another to sell it.

Most who by this stuff are people who think it's legal and don't realize it's pirated until after they get it.

How do you know this? Do you also know whether they would have been willing to pay the price for the official release?

Which makes it seem as if they are rich enough to be able to afford constantly paying those prices for videos, figurines, body pillows, dating sims, etcetera, etcetera.
