That is exactly my thinking. If someone didn't buy a 15k pirates, but was a first owner than this deal may make sense. If they've gotten all they can out of a Pirates maybe now is a good time to get the latest JJP.
As for cash value. I had offers within minutes to sell and I did not accept. I'm really just hoping to trade.
Therein lies the challenge. People tend to value their stuff as the greater of 1) where the market is (which means looking at the $15k POTC as a benchmark) and 2) What they paid for or have in the game (which has nothing to do with market value). It's why you rarely see deals (items well below market) but often see items sit forever ("I have $6k in the game, so I'm listing for $5900...it doesn't make any difference that the last three sales were under $5k"). Who knows, maybe you'll be lucky.
