Good evening everyone!

Is it possible that the central 41747 is Sand Green? Below is Olive Green, on
the left is Lime and on the right is Green.
On bricklink it has an absurd value ....

Yes, that's what it looks like to me.

That's because it only came in this set:

 
Set No: 7153  Name: Jango Fett's Slave I
* 
7153-1 (Inv) Jango Fett's Slave I
352 Parts, 2 Minifigures, 2002
Sets: Star Wars: Star Wars Episode 2

Back in '02 and '03 you could pick those sets up quite inexpensively
on clearance at major retailers in the US.

Correction: because it only came in that set and because the value has been inflated
by either (a) someone trying to corner the market, or (b) someone buying a whole
bunch of them for a MOC, or (c) some other reason unrelated to their availability.

I remember that particular set not being that rare to see on shelves at the time,
even clearance shelves, which is why I thought it was odd that the part was so
expensive. I see when looking at several other parts exclusive to that set that
they are not expensive. So something else going on with the price.

thank you! I also think there is something strange a similar price seems absurd
to me.
