Not going to hate I put up one of my frames at a ridiculous no ******* way price and it sold so if I had that frame I’d at least entertain that price for the week

Although somewhat annoying, it's legitimate to try getting the maximum profit from your sell. Nobody will force you to buy.

Hahha I mean there is people buying this two digit frames only to resell them…I bet not your case 😜

It's obviously speculation, as it happens for some watches or even sneakers. As long as wealthy collectors are ready to pay those prices, the bubble won't deflate.
In most cases though the prices on ebay are negotiable, to some extent.

Funny enough from the Umit Hewlett Packered collab I’m kind of intrigued by the Himalayas or Hail Hydra or whatever they’re called

The least attractive model to me. The name is Hulya, by the way.

You could possibly consider the Runaway from the Euphoria collection.

In my case it was just the luck of having a Rodeo that I forgot I had and I put out a number I knew it wouldn’t sell at to “mark down” and bam didn’t have to mark down. I think us OGs know about how much a frame should go for but the new guys with fomo want it yesterday at whatever price if you have the right model. I imagine I can put up an Ascari VT for say 2.7k and it will sell maybe even 3k….and this a frame that languished for months fully stocked and no one really cared about it, but the hype and fomo is real

Anyone know what model these are?

 

[RegisDB9]

Whiskeyclone?

 

[Go Surface]

^ ahh thanks! For some reason they don’t look as narrow in the John Elliot pic.

 

[fmvazquez]

Does anyone have a lead for a pair of Taos in Army or Whiskeyclone Maxfield?
Thanks you‘ll!

If Jacques Tati used these frames, in Playtime, he could of went broke faster.

I have a Taos in Army I've been thinking about selling.

I have those cobalt Herbies.
They’re one of my current favourites but it would be hard to turn down four large.
I wonder - if we hold on to all our unwanted frames if they’ll all eventually rocket up in price like that?
I occasionally scroll through eBay and when I see ridiculous asking prices they are almost always “from Japan”. Either the demand there is ridiculously high or else they have some speculative collectors / flippers who are out of touch with reality. I sold my sage Fitzgerald to @Easily Amused for RRP and soon after some knucklehead had a pair for sale for $2k. I was kicking myself for a minute but it’s anyone’s guess what they actually went for.

I'm coming fresh off of dealing with Ticketmaster and resellers to get tickets to see The Cure, so... yea, **** resellers.
