Quoted from Squeakman:Being that i've never even played it, is it worth all the hype? is the gameplay and code even good? Or is it nostalgia and the fact that it is super rare? I'm just curious.
IMO it's pure speculation. All it takes is a few people to think "Wow - this rare item is worth X" and it becomes so in that small microcosm of people.
For example - if there are only 3 of something in the world, and all 3 owners refuse to sell for less that 50K - if there is at least 1 person willing to buy at 50K then that collectible is now worth 50K : at least within that group of 4 people LOL. For the Big Lebowski, the few early sellers went for big bucks (20K) and got it, so now that is the accepted standard price among TBL owners. Why not? If someone else sold one for 20K shouldn't theirs be worth the same? But if people stop buying at 20K, the price could easily drop to 15K or 10K very quicky - or if sellers all draw the line at 30K, now that's the new "value".
