> [@Midlifeyoyoman](#): > > Yeah this is what has me perplexed as to what to offer on the painted peak on BST as its deffinately one that was custom painted and not bought that way from what I can gather. Not a big deal just don’t want to offend someone with an offer if its way off. There is no telling what the painted peaks really are unless they were the numbered originals or the documented originals. Ill just explain to the guy that I truly don’t know how much its worth but am interested in it. Thanks all for peak help as I’m starting to see why they are sought after by many. Kool story and fun players along with nice art work. Would just like to note that when levi was accepting commission work the price started at $120 and went up from there and you supplied the peak so it wasn’t cheap at all. It also appears that levi doesn’t paint anymore since he never replied to my last email so they’ll only become harder to get. ---

> [@TotalArtist](#): > > Thanks for detailing how those bids go on the BST. I like your strategy of the window of time given to accept or decline. I would use a similar strategy, as I hate waiting around for people to make decisions to sell or not. Chances are, after 12 hours, I will have my eye on buying something else anyway. You just want them to crap or get off the pot, so you can move on. 🙂 The other nice thing about it is the seller can’t take your offer, and then shop around indefinitely for a better one, then come back when he fails. He either sells on the spot, or accepts a lower bid from me later if he still has it and I’m still interested. If they miss the window and come back later, they always take less. ---

Despite my love of the Peak I still only try to pick up production colorways that I really enjoy. I would pay at most $100 for it just to have it but I honestly wouldn’t even want it. If I owned it and someone offered me $100 for it I would be quite insulted. If it was a Playmaxx product I would probably claw someone’s eyes out if that’s what it took to become the owner of it. At the current point in time, as a one-off piece of CLYW history and a Peak (sort of lol) I would have a very hard time valuing it at less than $500. If someone paid $1000 or more for it I would not be surprised. ---

Yea. Wouldn’t surprise me if it fetched over $500 but I (what me the collector grabber/buyer) wouldn’t even pay that for this one. It just doesn’t look very functional. I like rare but I like to experience their personalities as well. ---

I like rare but I like to experience their personalities as well. What makes you say it is not functional? It’s a Peak, which in my opinion, play perfectly fine. Sure, not up to participate with today’s throws, but good nonetheless. ---

Well unless every pic I have seen is totally disfigured/stretched ( which could be very possible), it looks like its much wider than all others and has a much narrower gap. Like I said, I could be wrong but pics look nothing like a regular peak to me. ---

China peak was sold last month for $200 along with a gouda for a similar price to a certain collector that I know 😛 I do however think a price near $350 is more fair for it ---
