Putting this in Wonders because of the asking price, but this advertising poster from Caedmon Records does not show up often. It is not in "Elvish" but in English using Angerthas Cirth runes, saying (approximately) "New Record New Book J.R.R. Tolkien Speaks and is set to Music"

Dealers can ask anything they want...doesn't mean it'll get bought at that price.

This is definitely 100% true with the smaller dealers. If overpriced, the item will just languish. But there is no doubt that one or two of the Tolkien specific dealers have actually shaped the elevated market for Tolkien, as they were considered "trusted" in the past (and these days they have a strange retained immunity, so they don't get called out as they have become more predatory in some of their sales. People are quite vocal in private, but there is a public free pass).
