Is it fair for people to sell something above what the actual market value is?
We here at Lugnet know what they're worth now...and the prices should be
lowered accordingly. Is there something we can do? Or is it even our place?

I am NOT stating any opinion on the current market value of the original
6067 Guarded Inn.  It is the original artifact, and with box or especially
in MISB condition, I would expect it to get more than the new 10000 set (how
much more is a matter of speculation).

I am trying to get sellers, and at the moment just a particular one at that,
to be more honest and less deceptive in their descriptions.  For example, I
don't have any problem with Troy C. parting out his 10000 Guarded Inn
elements when he SO clearly labelled them as such!  I actually lauded Troy
for his honesty.

An original Metroliner is worth whatever an original metroliner is worth.  I
wouldn't personally buy an old one knowing that a newer release is in the
offing...but when the time comes I would certainly prefer that sellers not
try to pass off the rereleased item as the original.

sets and elements, which interests me a great deal.)

I'll add my two cents to this... I did something in a similar vien the other day, although it wasn't quite the same and on retrospect, I'm a little ashamed. I emailed directly the highest bidder on an original Metroliner to inform him that he could (...) (23 years ago, 26-Jul-01, to lugnet.market.buy-sell-trade)
