My guess would be that people underestimated him. He does a great of slowing the opponent and the fact or fiction esque ability isnt bad. Hes also a new walker, people are trying him, its presales, AND states are in a week and a half. People are scrambling to get their copies (as am I), and thus prices go up like crazy. Thats my thinking atleast.
Maybe the rise in price is due to general overall demand far outstripping given overall supply. Given the EV of a RTR box, RTR is extremely popular to the extent many are preordering boxes instead of singles. This in turn means that there are less boxes being opened for Singles which in turn means a smaller amount of Jace,AOT being cracked open for preorder sales.
I'm sure this is old news but I was looking them up on SCG and they're sold out at 40 bucks....
It will be interesting if it maintains that high price-point, it came out at $19.99 for preordering. The first SCG open this weekend will hopefully give us a clearer picture of the playability of some of these higher priced cards, but if I remember correctly the last couple of sets it took a couple weeks for people to really put new set cards in their decks at the opens.

Look at my name...what did you expect?
Thank you WOTC for introducing the Modern format, a format where all the whiners can enjoy a level playing field and where they can play with none of the best cards of all time!
In summation.....Star Trek wins a prolonged naval battle against superior, yet less technologically advanced, numbers, with Picard leading the assault, while Kirk takes your soul by laying out Solo and probably his manservant Chewy as well, before impregnating and ditching your Princess.
Foils are going on Ebay for around 60, so I'd sell it yourself and buy a dual on Ebay first. You will get more bang for your buck if you are willing to take the time.
If I were to sell it on eBay I'd first have to have somebody buy it, then I'd have to pay eBay and Paypal fees and would probably end up around 50 or maybe a bit less for it.
I do have a question of what happens if after the results from the SCG Open become final what if cfb changes their prices and buys Jace or Tamiyo for more afterwards? Do I just cancel my current buylist and resubmit?

The buylist offer has an expiration (has to be received by them within so many days of making the offer), so you can just let it expire if you want and submit a new one using the higher prices.

How do people think prices are going to hold on this guy? I know he's new and that's why the price is at ~42$ right now, but he's also very good, so will he stay? Should I trade him now? or see if he goes up even further?

I think we're seeing his price peak now, much like Lilly last year. He's going to see more standard play but I don't see him being good enough for extensive eternal play.
He'll be drafted again in the spring too.

Unload them for high value right now before the second wave of printings come.
