Why this number?
The typical used price is the median of 8 used sales observed in the last 24 months, with outliers removed and the figure rounded. An observed sale is often the last asking price rather than a confirmed hammer price.

| Outliers | dropped | beyond 10× the product’s own median: bundles, parts, typos |
| All-time | €4,650 | 54 used sales, 2014–2026; not used for deals |
| Sales on record | 54 | all-time, all platforms |

Price history
Every recorded sale, one point each: 54 of them, placed by the day the ad went up. Too few sales to draw a trend through them without inventing one, so the points speak for themselves. Condition is mixed, so some of the spread is a mint against a fair rather than the market moving.
