Just for clarity, the standard bronze 102 is $115. and is usually in stock. A special run of white bronze 102's just sold out at $150. The iron 102 is no longer made, but they were $95.
Potentially, any out-of-production Lie-Nielsen tool could be worth more than its purchase price, but that depends entirely upon demand. As Phillip said, there is a tight range of prices for used LN tools, often reflected here on items available for sale.

Thanks for the clarification, Mike. There are only certain "collector" items I am interested in. My mistake.
Ps. Still hunting in cracks.

Very nice plane, although I don't think the white bronze adds anything to the functionality of the plane. He also bought a #8, which was backordered.
I just took delivery of a 51R, a plane I've coveted for many a year. It's a beaut.

I bough two white bronze 102’s from Lie Nielsen which were leftover from when they made them for Woodcraft as a limited edition run.
Lie Nielsen took a dremel and grinded down the date that was in the casting in the front. I wasn’t to happy to see those grinding marks
at first, but maybe they are worth more now because I look at them as blems.
