Hate to say it guys, but this is not the first $15k Tron LE NIB that has been listed for sale.
This one has been listed for sale since 2015.

There are a few other floating around as well, just not listed for sale right now.
I know of two others in "warehouse investors" hands, but there are probably more.
There are people out there that can manage this very easily, these are called "stock market pinball flippers".
This happens occasionally, but it is not decreasing.
Operators still do this as well, but not as often, as it is no longer economical like it used to be for certain old titles that were BLY/WMS close outs.
A certain individual's podcast was inaccurate again.
One person has already figured out what this is doing in the market.
I really don't care anymore in any manner.
The two simple facts, I do know is:
1) Any enthusiast should not complain about NIB or secondary market prices in 5 years.
2) Collectors need to be careful of the concept of NIB, because people take their games, take them out of the box, play them, and put them back in the box, and sell them for increased prices. It happens.
