I spent 8k for my hobbit direct from JJP. I think it going for between 1 and 1.5K less for HUO isn't bad. The ones buying NIB at 8.5 or 9 take a big hit for sure. I think there is good news bad news with hobbit. Due to the love it hate it feelings the prices are a bit lower on the second hand market. If you like the game it is great deal and amazing game for sub 7k. However if you are an owner of a NIB and want to sell it is going to hurt a bit. Great game in my opinion, I really like it.
