I am going to be honest and this will be harsh. The polish job on that “draupnir” is terrible and since the logos have been sanded off, there is no way to legit check it against the fake ones. I will give you $50 shipped for it, mostly just because I want to finish polishing it.
Yeah, I’ve already had like 12 offers for it all at 90 and the logos aren’t sanded off you can still see them in less harsh lighting I can send you a picture if you want. Also I understand the polish job sucks I didn’t do it myself, I traded for it.
Fake ones? bro, they’re only 205$ it’s not like Roseville glass. No shop can produce more than 10 “fake” replicas and even if they did it would ruin them as everyone of our nit picking jack asses would wreck them at second glance. It would take someone of extraordinary “special” abilities of skill and not giving af to pull off.
There were enough fakes that every time I see a special edition colorway for sale, the issue still comes up about it potentially being fake. If I didn’t see it at least once a month, I wouldn’t have brought it up. Oh, and you can go buy one off of Taobao right now, if you wanted.
The high price is exactly why the Chinese factories counterfeit it and they got so good that the only way to verify is to compare the lettering on the box and laser engraving. You don’t need “special abilities” when you have the means to manufacture the things. Even then, it’s difficult to tell. What’s the perfect way to hide that it’s fake? Sand off engraving, and throw away the box.
I don’t think the seller is trying to dupe us, by the time that a fake is unearthed, it’s been passed on to the third owner. I just feel that this specific example isn’t worth the price he is asking because of the condition it is in, and I stated my reasons why.
Anyways, someone may want a beater Draup and be fine with the price. GLWS.
I wonder what the original price on the Gradient was. The $90 for todays is for a limited special edition Gradient they had made for YYE. It’s a cool story but they were supposed to be put up at the 1 year anniversary but didn’t. That may not be the market price for the original Gradients.
One Drop has a release article stating that solids were $79. I can’t find price info for splash Gradients, but looking at other models, it’s probably safe to assume the MSRP was closer to $100.
As for market price, I don’t really want to speculate, but it’s definitely a buyers market these days.
Your probably right then. Looking at the price difference between solid and splash it could have been $95-$100. I actually bought one of the anniversary ones and was not really into throwing when the original came out. That’s why I was curious. I think you have priced fairly give or take a few. I don’t throw mine much but it is unique and performs extremely well.
That’s fine. Again when I traded for it the engravings were clear as day, but after polishing it poorly because I didn’t care to clean it up after I couldn’t fix the vibe, the engravings became very faded since there is no longer an anodized coating on the throw. If you don’t want it that’s cool, but there’s no need to throw any shade on my post lol even if that wasn’t your intention
