Hm. Next year being the 5th year since the sidebar (site theme, whatever) came out, they may not inflate as much as you're expecting. Also, keep in mind, they restock for a full week leading up to V-day, at only 250nps-ish each, and in large quantities. Most people are just trying to make a quick profit, so competitive pricing is *hard*. This drives the price down *fast*.
Here's a bit of history, based off of screenies taken of sales history (pricing was competitive, based on demand at the moment with the intention to sell quickly):
In 2005, they were brand new, and barely buyable. They generally sold for 99,999. Many people traded/auctioned them off for more, but I remember my husband made a cool million by RSing that day - and that's not including the one he used to get the sidebar.
In 2006, they sold for anywhere between 95k and 77k
In 2007, they sold for anywhere between 80k and 42k
This year (2008), they tended to sell for 60k to 35k. (I believe this is right, I don't have any screenies of it for this year, so that's from memory).
The trend seems to be that they are steadily becoming worth *less* during the week leading up to V-day. You *might* be able to sell for more *before* they start showing up in the gift shop, but there's no guarantees. Definitely a dangerous investment. Yes, you'll probably be able to sell them all, but for what price...there's no telling.
Hope that helps!
