That extra bit of $$$ people charge you to pay on top for something because it's unusual, nostalgic/iconic and elicits gawkers/discussion/conversation. It might not even be a particularly rare or valuable item but because of the aforementioned attributes the novelty tax greatly exaggerates it's value.
Example 1:
Bill: "Did Ed really pay $8500 for a old Mazda Miata? He could have gotten so many better cars for nearly as much!"
Mikey: "True, but those NAs are getting harder to find nowadays and c'mon man....those Pop-up headlights are a pretty cool party trick."
Bill: "Bruh...he paid way too much novelty tax for that old ass car, but I'll give it a pass because now he looks like a recently divorced single mother who left the hair salon with a pixie-cut because she was wanted to try something new......and you know how much I like chicks with short hair."
Example 2:
Ann: "Hey, remember when we were little and we would find Gameboys at the swap meet for $5."
Fred: "Yeah, wow what a trip. Now try finding them and their asking $50"
Anne "Didn't they sell millions of them though? Like, why are they expensive now?"
Fred "It's the novelty tax; current social media thrives on late 90s/early 00s nostalgia and now everyone wants to own a little piece of their past nowadays to show off and be validated. Nostalgia is ripe for exploitation. Now that I think of it, I have a copy of Pokemon Crystal sitting around! I'm going to eat good tonight!!"
Proper social etiquette among parrots is to eat all meals with their flock. "Bird tax" is the portion of every meal eaten within earshot of your parrot. It must be paid to your parrot at the start of said meal as reimbursement for removing your parrot from the wild, or else it will be forcibly collected.*
*Also applies to some budgies and other household birds; this bird law sometimes extends to wild birds living near restaurants and picnic sites, though the legality/enforceability in those situations is questionable.
"Your bird just stole a piece of my blueberry waffle!"
"Don't be rude! My bird doesn't steal! She collects bird tax. Everyone who eats in our home is considered flock and must pay bird tax."
"Why?"
"It's bird law."
Bird "Look at me. Look at me. I'm the captain now." (Squawk translation).
