Playsets of Chandra can be had on ebay with averages of $90 though there had been several over $100 now.
Yup, a quick check of buy it nows seems to show the singles up to around $30 shipped on the low end, and playsets up at about $27/card shipped at the low end. Definitely a rise, but not quite the doubling that some have mentioned.

I bought two Chandras for under $12 each on eBay on 8/28 and 8/30. If they are selling for $27-$30 per card today, that is more than a doubling.
I purchased five of them in total (not all through eBay) and am wondering if I should unload more than the one extra. (Yes, I bought them thinking I would use them, not as mere speculation.)

I picked up 2 about the same time for around $11 and thought I paid to much. I can't see how she can sustain $27-30 since most decks only run 2-3 at most. The exra draw is all I really use and that is an exspensive venture in when thinking about it. Never have used the ultimate cause the ping and card draw are the best for my purpose.
I order a set of Chandra a few weeks ago and had the order was from a different seller, the order hasn't arrived and tracing shows no movement just electronic receipt. I have a feeling I will probably get screwed out of the cards and there is no way I'm paying 30$Each for them.
As noted in the Theros values thread, Ashiok is up about $7 since last week. I decided to dump the one I opened... hopefully that is a good plan and this is near his max.
The power level of Chandra and the amount of her current constructed play screams $15 to me.
She appeared at SCG Worcester in the 1st, 3rd, 7th, 10th, 11th, 13th, and 15th place decks. I don't think anyone ran four of her, and some were in the sideboard, but that's still a lot of decks. Also worth noting that she appeared in mono-red, GR, RW, and Naya, so she's got more than one home. That's just standard, she's also found use in Modern.
I'm not saying she should be worth more than $15 in the long run. Just saying that if decks that use her are enjoying success, there will be a short term run on her that will keep the price high for a bit.
That having been said, I'll probably try to sell/trade two of my five to cash in while still keeping what I probably want for play. Still, I'm wishing I had bought a few more when I was buying.

I don't think that's correct... M14 was a high-EV set just like RTR. Check the thread here for confirmation.
Most of M14's EV came from Mythics while RTR's value is comprised of a good mix of rares and mythics. As such it was a bad idea to purchase m14 packs as creacking packs to chase mythics will genearly result in low ev.
but he is still rising pretty hard. still not sure somehow.
what was the reason btw, why he skyrocketed like that suddenly?
A 6/6 flyer for 4 is pretty good, and one expects he will be even better in a metagame where Lingering Souls doesn't run rampant to make him a weak Abyss instead of a legitimate threat. I think that he got overbought, and the fact that one can find $6 copies of him on TCG Player lends credence to this theory. I do agree that yesterday is the best time to dump him. Especially if U/W control decks (Verdict, Charm, and D-Sphere), RDW (Firefist Striker), and G/W Aggro (Selesnya Charm) are all top decks, and they all have easy ways to push through him or dispose of him.

Ash Zealot isn't going anywhere pricewise as rdw isn't tier 1 or archetype highrollers want to play in general. Chandra on the other hand will be the cornerstone of multiple red based midrange and possibly control decks this standard season.
Really? RDW isn't tier 1? It just won SCG Worcester. And by highrollers you mean grinders, as highrollers is an entirely different term.
Oh, and chandra has already sailed as a spec target unless you think chandra can go up from the $30 pricetag it currently holds a significant amount. Ash zealot meanwhile is sick with devotion and is a couple of dollars/has some potential for some serious gains percentage wise. Remember hellrider?

"Yawgmoth," Freyalise whispered as she set the bomb, "now you will pay for your treachery."
I noticed Primeval Bounty has moved up a little bit. It was at a low of $12 a play set and currently is at closer to $16 a play set. I even saw a play set go for $20+, but I think that was a bidding war. I know the bump is small, but the % is decent.
I personally bought them for GW Standard mirrors and against Control; not sure what others' uses for them are?

It's worth noting that there are still plenty on TCGPlayer in the $28-$30 range.

will he rise more? will he hold his value? or will he immediatly drop again after his hype?
currently they are for 4€ a piece on magiccardmarket.eu. shall i sell mine for that, or will they rise higher?
Where does Desecration Demon fit in a meta filled with U/W x control, RDW, and GW. You should have dumped him yesterday.
but he is still rising pretty hard. still not sure somehow.
