In TWEN, a friend of mine looted a A&P Series Hero, Adjusted, TWEN Edition and he asked me how much I thought it woudl be worth. Looking at the specs and at other similar items, I suggested 5 to 8k if lucky. He sold it for 24k and next ones I think sold for even 30k.
In TWEN, discussing SB10 blades, I thought they would go for about 8k, or even up t 12 maybe due to being new bling and demand being high. They were selling fast for 30k.
This huge difference between what specs of an item compared to similar tools in same braket sort of and actual demand which people seem to completely ignore and mo matter how much you think it shoudl be worth because X and Y look the same, the only real argument that a seller can push is either a recent sale. If none, he can ask whatever he wants. A lot of people hope and daydream that nothing sells, which is false, items sell every day, for values agreed by seller and buyer.
An experienced player knows better than to go for the first offer a reseller makes, a newer player might be fooled by the cheesy arguments of resellers.
I don't understand OPs threads with pricecheck for these new items, they will always go for crazy prices, because some people will choose to ignore a spec and highly value another, always....
X payed too much? It's their money man... Y sold for too cheap, his item.... his right. Deal with it. Either buy or do liek sorine, wait and wait and wait..... absolutely nothing wrong with that. But while you wait, for your own sake, try to understand how the market works and maybe you will not be completely shocked and blown away by reality vs whats going on in yur head...
