MOC bought for huge money!

Hi guys. Yep, lucky first post. I just wanted to ask a question, so let me get straight to the point...

MOC versions of double telescoping Luke, Darth and Obi-Wan sold recently for $18,000 each. Do you all think this is really what they're worth?

About right for Luke and cheap for the other 2.

Do you have a link to the sales?

I'd be amazed if someone "only" charged $18k for a DT Kenobi MOC. Based on the sale (admittedly, only the initial ask price) of one with 1/3rd of the cardback missing I'd suggest in today's lunacy you'd be looking at $40-$50k for him. Don't know about Vader but a DT one should be a fair bit more than a Luke.

Vader is worth about the same as Ben near the $40,000 mark I believe.

Oops, looks like I got it wrong. Luke sold for $25,000. I had assumed Obi-Wan and Darth Vader would be there somewhere, but apparently not so. It was a huge MOC collection.

Definitely a lot more for Vader and Ben $40 to 50k
