What value to you assign a SWU?
Of course, the 'value' would be highly independent to each individual. It likely depends on what you'd do with the SWU's-- personally I use them to upgrade to J on TATL, which enable me to sleep on the flight and allow a long weekend in Europe. Without that I wouldn't make those trips and as such would happily trade $1k for 5 of these. With enough lead time have been 100% successful in doing so. YMMV...
