Is LEGO Wind-Up Motor retired?

Has LEGO Wind-Up Motor gone up in value?

What is the price per piece for Wind-Up Motor?
At its $10 retail price across 41 pieces, Wind-Up Motor works out to about $0.244 per piece. Collectors often use price per piece to judge whether a set is good value.
Is LEGO Wind-Up Motor a good investment?
Wind-Up Motor currently trades 156.1% above its $10 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 Wind-Up Motor so expensive?
Wind-Up Motor was released in 2001 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.
