You've Got Grail! The Valuation Thread

[Rossyra]

The so-called normal prices are the freak sales in the age of Grail.

[Jan]

Not really, not talking rare onces though.

Don't get me wrong, pices increased, no doubt, but a bare Ibara for 700€ ? Or a bare Espgaluda 2 for 650€ ? I don't think so.

[pubjoe]

The freak prices have set the new baseline for years, and especially so recently. Yes it's stupid, we've debated it for years but that certainly hasn't stopped it. What makes those an exception?

[Jan]

Last DS sold for less than 400€, is that your Basis for future advices ?

[pubjoe]

If someone asked what DS is worth then I could say the last one sold for 400€.

The discussion has been going on for years. PCBs are getting harder and harder to find. Long gone are the days of Japanese resellers have plentiful stock.

So you've got rising prices in Japan, poorer exchange rates in the East, increased shipping costs worldwide.

Then you have, collectors that don't sell. Price gougers that only buy to flip for profit and "players" that bitch about the prices.

Even before all this, Cools pointed out the issue of people buying at X then


Round 1: X + fees + shipping (Y)

Round 2: Y + fees + shipping (Z)

Round 3: Z + fees + shipping.........

The bigger the community gets, the less community spirit there is. You might cut a deal for someone you know, but a brand new member rocking up with a wanted thread, no chance.

got you,

now, how do you tell that 650€ for a bare Espgaluda 2 is low ?

or what exactly is the 800GBP for Ketsui based on ?

[Rossyra]

Ibara, £600 shipped.

What basis do you have to say Ketsui can't fetch £800

[Jan]

i`m not making and advices, you are.

Ibara was offered to me not a week ago for 550€ Shipped (within the EU).

[Rossyra]

If ten years went by before another DS came up for sale would it still be worth only €400?

1. Paid X in 20XX
2. Passage of time/Inflation/scarcity/cave
3. ????
4. Grail

Last DS sold for under 400. Good for the buyer. If it were offered for 600, it had been sold same ways.

I was right, those prices are low.

Akai Katana Home Kit? I've been after one for over 3 years now.

[phillv85]

Just let it go already guys, you can't win or end this

Cave PCB owners already have, if prices carry on up at this rate I'll be able to retire soon.

[Rossyra]

Owners yes, rinsers not so much.

[phillv85]

I dunno, I reckon the rinsers have won more than anyone on the back of these price surges.
