Pelikan M805 Ocean Swirl Inflation

[Aether]

making an selling limited editions special editions et al is a short term strategy by the companies what do it.  In my mind i think it is a cynical act that looks to take advantage of the customer base in an asymmetric way.

Would you see this same level of inflation creep into the contemporaneous LEs?  Like the M800 Grand Place and Renaissance Brown?  Or is the Ocean Swirl really in a league of its own?

The Renaissance Brown is for sure not commanding a price as high as the OS. The M620 Grand Place is a bit higher because it’s part of the city series, but the last one I saw up for sale was around 600$, still lower than crazy prices of the OS recently. Other LEs like the Blue Dunes have sold for less as well... On the other hand, the M600 White Tortoise is basically extinct on the secondhand market so that one must fetch an even higher price. 
 

Interested to see what the Petrol Marbled does later on in pricing as people are saying it looks a bit similar to the OS.
