The Fire Brigade Hypotenuse

Consider your average right angle triangle, the base is 99.99 (the RRP), the height is 90 (sale price, double vip points or John Lewis 10% off sale) The hypotenuse is the secondary market price shortly after going eol, which is 134.5. However the FB is already selling for around 170. Given that the FB was around for 3 years and assumed to be hoarded in great numbers, this is solid proof that modulars in the secondary market will be very strong even in the apparent modern climate that has seen an increase in investors. I have seen superheroes sets have 20-30% gains, 6866 has reached a 100% gain. I think the FB is the best Fire Station ever built by Lego but in my book it has the lowest rating of any modular. I have not invested in any modular as yet as I prefer to buy sets that are not so high priced, but if I had the money, id be getting a ton of these. Feel free to use my unpatented "hypotenuse" formula for calculating minimum short tem (quick flip) gains.
