I’m not following your logic. An expensive item is much easier to sell than a cheaper one. Easiness to sell is correlated to value.

Value on the legal market is distinct from value as a stolen item.

So? How does that support your argument? Even a black market operates as a market. If the value of an item increases, demand will increase, all else equal.
