🦘X-Metal Pricing - Relative Values

[lacrossestix66]

Great Thread, appreciate the effort to bring a helpful guide to us newbies. I'm sure it'll be revised as more info is brought in, just going to take a collective effort like how the lens cutting guide was made.

Great guide "as reference" only some are off imo. As a seller post a value your comfortable with if it sells good, if it doesn't then decrease your price accordingly till it sells.

Beat up R1 with no lenses $350 vs Mint complete R1 $700 would make total sense. Why don't you add something useful instead of criticizing

I concur!

More importantly is the fact that many members here are part of a community. I have sold here rather than elsewhere due to respect. It's not about money all the time. I've gotten respect from many and I've reciprocated.

Pricing depends on a lot of things. What you paid originally, how rare an item it is, what the condition or completeness might be, what the current market for them is when you sell. The climate for these things change. I don't want anything that badly that I'd be willing to buy something because it's the only one. There will be another down the road.

Lastly we would all like to have an elusive pair of whatever dirt cheap but you have to be willing to offer a reasonable amount and at the same time sellers need to consider that starting much higher than average and coming down repeatedly shows something about their true goal. I've listed items that haven't sold. I've bumped them too and after a while you need to come to grips with the fact that most of the intended audience has seen the listing and if no ones biting either your item is not as desirable as you thought or your price is so out of line no one bothered to PM you with so much as a counteroffer.

Yup, personally though "I" for once have "never" sold here for profiting and i already know and accepted the fact that i wont be getting my money back (probably loose a lot of money on these) its all good. If you have accepted that fact yourself, that should reflect your pricing.

Perhaps the concept of making your money back should be a baseline unless you overpaid originally. As x metals have increased in value over their original cost that should be pretty easy. I've spent $300-$400 on things and resold them for maybe 25% more than I paid. I've also doubled my investment on discontinued items that are very desireable. I paid $100 for a time bomb key chain! Seriously? I would not think to list that at $200 however.

Did jordan r1s come with the extra large and in charge metal vault as a complete set? If so much would that add or subtrack to the value Asking for the purpose of this thread...I don't know but would like to know.

Not all only the first 100 i think correct me if I'm wrong

I believe only the very first ones, like 30 or 50 came with those extra large vaults. Not 100% how many, but not that many. IMO that would add 200 to 300, but that too is very subjective

No wonder they are not as common. Now that's rare! Thanks gents.
