Somebody did in fact sell one for 500 on the FB BST but imo that was an absurd outlier price. Before the BST had slowed down I’d have said 200 dollars would be a reasonable price for it, but I also just marked down an Unknown Akita to 100 bucks before it sold. And that Peak 2 on FB sold alongside an Unknown Pickaxe for 300. I sold an Unknown pickaxe for 120 not that long ago. So yeah those prices were weird outliers. MSRP on these was 110 iirc and 50 were produced which is a lot for a single colorway of a CLYW. How much you’ll get for it depends on how badly somebody wants it. I can’t imagine any scenario where another sells for 500 bucks, but I still think 200 would be reasonable to the right collector. In terms of quantity it’s actually one of the more common Unknowns. Neat yoyo though, if you asked me a year ago I’d already be in your DMs asking to buy it lol. Also worth noting that FB sale happened only a few months ago, which is after the BST had slowed down cuz irl economics, which makes the sale even weirder. ---

Though I agree on your current market value, there are some Peak collectors out there that might be willing to pay more. I think their value will rise once the Plastic Peak and Peak 3 come to market. ![Screenshot_20230225_081454_Instagram](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/8/a/3/8a3cbb67ff9d2308736e0ffa27a281b73173fc0e.jpeg) ---

Oh wack, thanks for the correction. I knew the Pickaxe/Akita were produced in a run of 50, so I assumed it was the same for the Peak 2. It still doesn’t seem like anybody is seeking out Unknowns though, so I def think there’s a limit to how much of a premium can get tacked on to it in the current yoyo market. 200 is totally reasonable, 250… maybe…? but I think we can agree that 500 is a massive outlier that isn’t likely to happen again. At least until several Peak/Unknown collectors decide they really want one at any cost all at the same time. ---

I was actually the one buying, it was MIB and my buddy needed help to buy brakes for his car so i offered him 350 and scooped it. Honestly one of the best looking yoyos i own. Pretty stoked even though i paid a little more than usual. Can always get more money but only so many peaks out there 😆 ---

Yeah doing more research it is the 888x. It doesn’t say 888x on it anywhere I can find but the DVD has 2011 printed on the edge. I’m not expecting big money here, just wondering if I should throw this on the BST to get some feedback going or just open it and put it in my case. ---

Oh wow I was hoping a canvas of this condition and engravings would be around 600. That is one of the best engravings tho so hopefully that contributed to price. ---

There is more on these Japan FHAL from 2013 in the older thread. Freehand collector’s will obviously value them higher. > [@Yoyo Appraisal Thread](https://forums.yoyoexpert.com/t/yoyo-appraisal-thread/58217/3701): > > These were actually manufactured in Japan and retailed around $115 in 2013. Since Freehand collecting is hot right now I see these 2013 ALs going North of $150 and maybe more at auction because the don’t come up to often. ---

The value of nickel specifically might be a little skewed since a good amount of deadstock was available just a few months ago on beyondyoyos for 50 bucks. I’d imagine the other colors would be valued higher than nickel, as weird as that sounds. ---

That’s actually when I got mine as well. But yeah it does make sense that the nickel would be priced a little lower.
