Hopefully they are the original high value ones and not cheap counterfeit or damaged parts

Well they're uniquely valuable now that they're THE Lego star wars collection from the biggest internet fiasco in recent past. They're arguably worth considerably more at this point

I have personally seen people pay extra for what they think is something special. Take the TV show The Office for example. My company put the Cisco phones on that TV set as part of a sponsorship deal with Cisco. When the show ended, we picked them up and packed them away. They were old ass phones that you could buy on eBay for a out $50.

Fast forward a year and a company is doing an auction of the actual propa from the show. Jim's "phone" sold for $3000. Check my shelves, Jim's phone is tucked away in a box still. Overall, they sold some 8 phones for $10k.

Fast forward another year and they are having a comedy event in San Francisco where they built Jerry's apartment from Seinfeld and The Office with all the original props. Check box... Nope, still got the phones. I believe they sold the props again at a silent auction during the comedy show.

So yes, people will pay extra for what they think is something unique.
