And I’m looking to buy it and don’t know much about later runs… I know I’ve seen the original run sell for over $300 recently but I am not sure about the later runs ---

That sounds reasonable for the later runs, but again, that’s just from my experience ---

So I’m of two trains of thought here… I’ve seen balsa wood stands for sale at $3-$5. Personally I feel that is a reasonable price for a single display, because I’m cheap. However, in that same sense, yours appear to be a much higher quality. On the flip side, Sochi has the plexiglass cubes for $18 before shipping. Whereas I won’t personally pay that high of a price for a single display, someone, and infact many people do. I would say, figure your margins, add in your time, and pick a price. If the quality is there, customers will be willing to purchase them. If you could keep them at $5, awesome. If you need $20+ per to cover time and materials, then offer them for that price. Either way, they are beautiful, great job!:+1::+1::+1: ---

My FHZ collection is World Class and I know yours is a lot better than mine. The two painted I’d say $70 The unpainted…. Have you still got the packaging? I’d call that a top tier FHZ right there with the Mongu so it would earn big money and only serious collectors in the running. As a serious FH collector I’d have trouble with this one out of package even knowing it’s legit. You can take that paint off the Higby caps and they made clear Z’s. If you’ve still got the package and John signed it that would go a long way, If not I’d say my “1 of 6” is now “1 of 5” ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/e/7/1/e71b2ca56e5ca3b81a9dd8a95de5c262d633d78f.jpeg) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/1/1/7/1178c43dacb23ab760dcd5a3e9f4575ce2e715f6.jpeg) ---

Oh I do know mine was not paint removed. These came from an OG collector that has one of them in package. I think mine was an extra set that john gifted him. Mine is an extra I think. ---

A new run is going to be released soon, and one of the colorways from this new run (tiffany mint) was released early around a month ago. People generally don’t pay over MSRP for modern yoyos. There’s exceptions obviously but they’re not exactly common. ---
