The current state of jersey buying is depressing: (alien.top)

Wanted a Nick Chubb Browns retro jersey. $170 on the NFL team shot website. Went to a Chinese knockoff site, I could’ve bought 7 different jerseys for $170. The price difference is just insane. How can they justify pricing a jersey at $170? Do people actually buy it?

People absolutely buy them. I think a lot of it comes from gift giving and people buying them when they're at the game. If your spending close to $1k on tickets, food, lodging, travel whatever to go see your team play, $170 for a cool keep sake you get to keep forever isn't that much.

I agree its expensive but I still have every jersey I've ever bought or been given. I just gave a Terrell Davis jersey I got as a kid to my niece who is just getting into football.

Plus ebay exists. You can find tons of high quality jerseys for older players for under $50 and many for under $25. I'd rather do that than DH Gate, personally.
