·I was shocked when I saw that selling price--and it was USED! I stopped in just to see if anyone had commented on the upward trend. I check the ebay market every few months, and earlier in the year they were selling for closer to $4k, and always 4+ available from Japanese resellers. Now there's practically none showing up on ebay. I guess Japan finally ran out of their surplus on new tintins. I'll be really interested to see how these things are priced in the next few years--the climb in value to this point has already vastly exceeded my expectations... considering how frequently folks voiced displeasure over the dial design (back when it was still in production).
I'm kind of kicking myself for not buying a new one from Japan for ~$3200 USD only last year... available at that price for a number of months. I kind of figured the price would climb, but double in a year? And for a non-LE too (even though it sort of is).
you're not alone for wanting to kick yourself.... I passed on 2 of them last year too in Japan (about the same price) but never thought it would climb up in price by that much and that quick. oh wells
