It would be interesting to see how that plays into this discussion. When the completion cars first came around, they were 500K. Presumably they will be more now. But how much? Lets just take a wild guess and say 1M this time. What is that in relation to the price of buying an original SC? If the price is similar, why not just buy an original instead?
I think the argument here is that when you're very wealthy and you can buy virtually whatever you want, price is unimportant. The cars can't be driven on public roads, so people will just buy it and let it sit or hang somewhere.

Also, I doubt pricing can be announced, because each car will likely be different in terms of the very rare and expensive OEM parts. As the OEM parts inventory dwindles and more repro parts are utilized, theoretically, the cars should become cheaper. However, I'd expect price increases over time, just because the cost of labor and materials increase.
