Grammar
Is "Due to" being used Correctly Here?
"I have no idea what the property might be worth to collectors due to its 'celebrity' value."
Strict grammarians insist that "due to" only be used as an adjective, rather than a preposition. With this in mind, is the above sentence correct? Is "due to" functioning as an adjective or preposition in the above? I can't figure it out.
Thanks everyone

Basically, yes. However there is more to it than that. There are instances in certain sentencs where you could use "caused by" but not "due to". I need further explanation.
Thanks guys.
