Quoted from frankmac:Hobbit has dropped like a rock.
If I am giving advice to someone buying a NIB pin. I would tell them do not buy Hobbit as the second you open that box the value drop big time. Hobbit on secondary market has great deals.
Do you think buying a NIB Hobbit is a good move?
Depends on the price point you got in at. $9500? Yes. $8k? Not as bad. $7.5k, not bad at all in my opinion. HUO Hobbit LE's and SE's are currently in the $6.5k-$7200 range on average, sure a couple here and there have gone below or above that but that's the current average pricing. Location, mods and condition plays heavily into pricing for Hobbit and any pin.
Personally I would recommend the OP to buy a HUO Hobbit now as prices will go up, as they often do, when code is completed..and one hell of a big update for The Hobbit is coming based on everything I've read and heard. Same thing happened with Metallica and Star Trek. Lot's of positive changes coming to Hobbit's code which will only make it better and more desirable.
