Quoted from SantaEatsCheese:Yeppers. People getting their NIBs delivered now bought them back in October from what I understand. Eventually, the manufacturing will catch up and the floor is going to drop on prices on these. SE's are already approaching $7,000 and LE's are getting close to your $9500 number. I predict I will be scooping up an SE to rotate through the basement under $6,500 in the next year. If JJP actually makes 5,000 LEs I could see LEs going for under $7,000 in the next couple of years. CE's will hold value.
JJP isn’t going to make 5k LEs - that was just an artificially high number to make sure there was enough to meet demand. When the next title is announced, GnR will stop being made. I would guess it tops out at 3k units.
The LEs could drop to $9k temporarily until production stops, then they will start inching back up. No way will you ever see one “under $7k” ever.
The SEs are seriously gimped (and rather ugly), so that’s where you might catch the occasional bargain.
