I remember when the JooJoo tablet went for incredible prices once it got discontinued and folks entered into a buying frenzy, then again with the Grid 10 tablet.
And if you were patient, the prices dropped to next to nothing. Buyers, don't fall for the "unobtainium" of a recently discontinued device. Sellers... good luck finding folks that want your stuff at such an elevated price. I wouldn't blame you at all if you wanted to capitalize on their frenzy.
Somebody knows a good Linux Tablet for a lower price?
For me i set a limit of 500,- eur.
I was ready to pay up to 500 eur for a good Linux (Not Android) Tablet.
I got my jTab 64GB + Lastu for 470 eur.
of couse its a huge amount of cash (for me, i have only half-time-job) but this was under my limit of 500,- eur.
And thats because there are no alternatives, not because there are only 670 devices produced....

I just know that they are more functioning devices out at this moment (read: laptop) but are the wrong type of form factor (read: laptop) yet more devices might address this gaping hole that the Jolla tablet was attempting to fulfill.

entering >500€ makes me go with Bundyo and stamp it as the outcome of a collectors race.
Similar experiences can be made with record collections.
My wife buys stashes of records, then evaluates and sells them individually since more than 20 years. You never know which rich bastard wakes up to your auction and doubles the price.
The highest score ever was "Mordbuben AG - Bleib Blöd (1979)" with whooping 230€ when estimated ~100€.
Never underestimated the greed of collectors and the chaos theory
Could be between 100 and 3000 more?

He would buy something, what runs oob, not something to tinker with...
I think, we are no average users, thats why we have maemo / meego / sailfish, and why we are here at tmo.
devices for average users are boring.... ;-)
