Am I right in thinking this limited edition Trezor was released very recently for $999? Best of luck with the sale, not sure Trezors are that highly regarded to deserve such a huge bump in value

That's correct, only 20 units were available. Due to the limited supply, the attractiveness of a metal TREZOR and it being a 1st edition, I think the price is more than reasonable.

2011 Casascius coins only sold for 1 BTC a piece, yet can demand up to 5 BTC. This is a rare collectors item at a reasonable price.

I think comparing a trezor to a casascius is a bit ambitious. To be honest with you, they are on entirely different wavelengths.
If one of the posts above was correct by saying that these were sold at $999 a piece, then a small premium would be understandable. However, doubling the price is a quite a big premium.
Nonetheless, it's still a cool item to have.
Just my 2 satoshi.

Best of luck with the sale!

My point being that it is a collectors item from BTC's history. I don't intend to get x5 the face value like a Casascius coin, because I agree they would demand a higher premium. The price I am asking is not even x2 the original price...

Well, Casascius didn't sell the Coins for face value either. So for example silver single from 2013 were sold for 2 BTC (+ shipping).

How much of a premium would a Casascius coin with ~20 units available demand? You see there are multiple limbs to assessing a collectors item, and scarcity is one.

Coins are a completely different animal than electronics.

We can argue apples from oranges until the cows come home, it is still a collectors item.
