What is the price per piece for Technic Control 1?

Is LEGO Technic Control 1 a good investment?
Technic Control 1 currently trades 47.1% above its $140 retail price, and it is retired, so no new supply is entering the market. Past performance is not a prediction — condition, packaging and how long you hold all affect what a set actually sells for. BrickStats reports the numbers rather than giving investment advice.
Why is LEGO Technic Control 1 so expensive?
Technic Control 1 was released in 1986 and has since retired. Once LEGO stops producing a set, the only supply is what is already in circulation, so sealed copies in good condition compete for a shrinking pool of stock. That scarcity, not the parts, is what moves the price.
