| I observe that some parts are regularly offered for exorbitant prices when there
is actually no reason for this.
Take for example this part
This was previously only available in set and
These sets were limited in number and are much sought after.
Since 2024, a new set has been available that contains this part.
It can be purchased in any LEGO store or reseller. But I still see that every
new seller of this part bases their price on the original price when this part
was still rare.
This it totally nuts imo.
I'm thinking of parting out 10 sets containing this part and pricing them
at around 50 cents to change the price guide which will force future sellers
of this item to sell this item cheaper.
To the sellers: do you also experience these kinds of crazy things?
