How much is a dev kit 1 worth now since they aren't made?

I'm really curious on how much the dev kit 1 is going for now since they aren't being produced anymore. I'm guessing they're already at least worth about $500+ now (I know its got to be at least a profit) because it sold for $300.What do you think th...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gMMvF05ZT70Go to 3:35 of the video to hear Palmer plead non-developers.I never heard Palmer (or any other Oculus employee) tell non-developers that definitively to not buy DK1. He always said CV1 would be way better, th...
