Some factual corrections here on the ebay transactions: Wiard #1 6 module system + Borg and Woggle went for about $11K in first listing. Wiard 6 module system in similar cabinet but with a non-initial release module selection listed 4-5 times, eventually sells for $6K. Single VCO

Yep, the funnies in the equation. Looking at the trends - Wiard #1 goes for over $10K (then re-listed I think?). One Classic VCO early version goes for $1100. Yet a 6- module later generation is listed at $6K-7K and no one bites. Just saw the same thing happen with Serge panels -
