Mainly because they can afford it I assume. My other guess would be appreciation and social kudos they would not be able to get otherwise (in real life or in game).

Or maybe they are just plain "insert game here"-crazy and would also spend 100 quid on a roll of toilet paper signed by, say, a random Blizzard employee. And I would not want to bet that there isn't a person that would actually do that.
