LEs seem to be in a world apart. The issue may be that JP Prem is still in production and not rare at all - anybody can get one if they aren't in a hurry. $13k is NIB price (but not including taxes). The used ones on Pinside that actually sold at or around NIB price have significant add-ons / topper etc. most have been selling around the $8kUSD range which is closer to $11kCAD. Now 8-10 months ago would have been a different story. Probably would have sold well over $13k. Seller needs to be patient and wait for the right buyer.
Same thing is happening to me. 5-6 folks were super interested in my LOTR and have been hounding me for months. They knew what I'd be asking. Now that it's listed..... crickets.. lol
I hear you, and definitely think your point is bang on.
I personally never got into this hobby to make profits, and lost money on 90% of the games I sold in the past because I tried to be fair.
I guess I was still caught in the pandemic pricing, and thought for once maybe I'd be able to let go of one of my games without losing my shirt.
I have a LE, but the premium was supposed to go to a friend who now ran into some financial complications.
I'll have to sell with what the market dictates, and I'm fine with that.
The LE market seems unreasonably inflated, and this comes from some who owns a few of them.
I remember a few years ago fighting to get $10,500 for my Metallica LE, and pulling teeth to get $12,000 for Deadpool LE.
Now they're well over $20K? Crazy!
It will be interesting to see if Stern can get away with their new $20,000 LEs when the theme isn't as hot as James Bond.
