It is also said the reason why it is so highly valuable, atleast in the first horns case. Is simply because it would be a breakthrough in the magic items that are used and created in the New World. While it is implied that there are many stronger summoning items there is no known summoning item that summons permanent summons. Instead they are all time based. This means the the first goblin horn that summons 19 lvl 8-12 is revolutionary in the magic research area which is why it is worth so much.

The 2nd horn however still seen as a low class item can summon something like 5000 goblins I believe, and it includes goblins in a much larger variety and some goblins at a much higher lvl.

I might just be missunderstanding since I am thinking about Nfireas talk about it in vol 2, while the actual pricing is mentioned in vol 8 where a magic caster offers a price but it might be the magic caster is unaware of the permanent part and just see's the summoning value.
