Saw that A+ delux in the obits for $1800.  Seems that's about what they went for new.  I wonder now that they haven't been made for a year or so, whether the value will creep up because you can't buy a new one any more or just level off to what you'd expect for a used mando of similar quality/condition, or drop a bit lower.

Speculation?

I also wonder if the market will sustain the value of The Rigel.  

I think the novelty of these instruments has run the course.  Although, I would love to have one of the strat shaped ones but no way am I going to invest 3 or 4K for something I am buying on the cutesy factor..

My guess, people will try to ask for a bit more for them now like that A+ but won't get more than typical used prices at least for several years.  Maybe ten years down the road, value might go up but just a tad.

I feel the same way about the G110 also wouldn't run out in buy unless I already had a a killer BG mando or two and had $ burning a hole in my pocket.
