I'm tempted to say they're work provided but Higan has money troubles. I think Komachi used her massive weapons of persuasion to get Rinnosuke to sell it to her for a cheap price (not that hard seeing how Rinnosuke's business sense isn't the best)
Komachi personally is probably one of the wealthier inhabitants of Gensokyo. She has enough money that her danmaku bullets are exclusively coins, most of them gold or silver.
Remember that she is the ferry(wo)man of the dead, and every soul that crosses the river must pay her using money created for the soul based on the number of people whose lives are touched by that person and the degree to which they are so touched. So when someone like Mother Teresa dies, Komachi is instantly rich. To quote the wiki's translation of her official profile:
A shinigami judges one to be good or bad not by the amount of crimes, but by money. That is to say, not the money that the deceased may have had while they were alive, but rather the total amount of those who yearned and missed that person from the bottom of their hearts....
Komachi always demands those she guides to pay all the money they have...
And with that, I officially think about this crap too much.

Rinnosuke only has stock of things that were forgotten and fell into Gensokyo. I have a hard time believing someone would just leave around an iPhone and forget about it...
oh wait, iPhone 4 dev unit found left behind in a bar. nevermind then.
