[quote="EdSawyer"]hi grapher -
Unfortunately everyone here expects a deal. Your price is not out of line. Ebay indeed is probably the best place to maximize the sale. You are correct, nice T-coated versions of this sell for $800+ on a regular basis there.
Best of luck with the sale,

I generally agree with Ed - I've noticed that this forum tends to be better for selling user-condition stuff ... not so much for collectors or the premium-quality stuff.
That said, US$800+ does seem a bit high ... but may not be unrealistic given the very weak US dollar which has declined 25% since the days I used to buy actively.
Furthermore, eBay stuff commands more because it COSTS MORE to sell on ebay. Easily 10% of the closing price goes to fees ... lousy forex rates if you're not US-based ... and the prohibitive cost of shipping.
That said, eBay can command better prices for some stuff ... and I've noticed some non-US and non-European buyers are paying premium dollar for this. |
