This could be something that you bought for a higher price than what most people would guess based on the item, or it could be something you bought for a normal price that has gained significant value as time has gone on.

What made me think of this question is a LEGO minifigure I got with my “The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey” disc. It is Bilbo Baggins in a blue coat that was apparently only sold in that movie box only at Target stores. Even considering the exclusivity, I would have guessed maybe $10-20 for such a tiny piece of plastic, but there are sold listings on eBay from $80 to $225. I could possibly even get towards the higher end of that number since I still have everything in the original box in good condition. It’s not worth a ton compared to some other items people may own, but I think most people would not expect nearly that amount.

    That’s awesome! The guitars look really nice in your picture. Is there anything special specifically with those guitars that make the value so high, or are they just rare and collectible?

      Honestly, I don’t understand it. I mean, they’re great guitars for sure, and they do sound way better than new ones… but, tens of thousands of dollars better? I dunno.
