Aeon prices higher than original?

So I was being lazy...doing nothing when I started to think about the rarity of the aeon fashion coming out of the new chests. I started thinking about the fact that the more there is of something, the less it will cost, and vice versa, the less there is of something, the more it will cost. So...if the aeon fash is hard to get from the new chests...shouldn't it worth more than the original sets? For example, there are 10 white glenmore sets in the server, but due to its rarity, only one white glenmore set ends up coming out of the aeon chests...this should technically make the aeon set be worth more than those 10 originals. Similarly, even with the common red...if there are 100 red sets but only end up being 10 aeon red sets...the aeon set should logically be worth more than the 100 original sets. This might not exactly be the case though since some players don't care about the name and just go for the looks...but those few really rich collectors will/should definitely pay attention. What are your thoughts on this matter? Is it logical or am I an idiot that doesn't know a thing about economics and celtic heroes?

Edit: this idea came based on the conception that aeon chests will go away and will not be in effect if they are permenant

Considering Aeon items are still available from chests and most likely permanently, it'll always cost a bit less than the originals.

Tbh you have a point about the price once it has the aeon tag on it because its rare to get anything good from these aeon chests.

I didn't know that there were plans to make the Aeon chests permenant...if it is like that, you could deal away with normal event chests since u can get current event fash (tokens atm) while at the same time have a chance of getting old fash

Can't find it, but they did say they will remove rime chests in a future update, or next update

From Muldar:
Rimebound Mystery Chests will be replaced at the Food of the Gods update launch.

Aeon Mystery chests are currently permanent, if this changes players will be notified in advance.

If they are permanent, can us non plat buyers have a way to earn them?

There are options available to that effect in-game already. You can purchase the chests from other players for gold, or gather Platinum to buy your own through engaging in the Fishing system!

Farm gold. Buy them from players for gold. Use the platinum from the gold bought chests to buy more.
