How much more NOS pods are worth over used ones is a good question, assuming you can find used ones. Since they have no moving parts to wear, unless they've been damaged or abused, used ones usually just require cleaning and painting.

The going price 15 years ago for a complete batwing assembly, used and needing perhaps a few dents removed from the center section and cleaning & paint, was about $1200 and I've since seen them at Hershey, painted and with new decals for $1700 or more.

If it weren't for the fact that so many owners of non-Caribbeans want the 2x4 setup, they'd be a glut on the market. Supply & demand, that's all there is to it.
