The market bears what it can.  I'd pay a few hundred for a Jason Fabok Wonder Woman sketch, the one I wanted sold for $1,700 so I don't blame him charging that much if people pay it.

In terms of art that goes for millions, it is mainly an investment strategy, not done out of any love of art.  

Oh im all for artists to charge whatever they want, and there are many that are willing to pay that price too. I've bought numerous art for hundreds as well, just some people complain cause they cant afford it/dont understand lol

Agreed.  We live in such an age of mass production with economics of scale that the value of something one of a kind hand crafted has seen its value diminished greatly to most people.
