I would have said maybe a touch less than that for raw. Maybe $200-250, but certainly a healthy sum 🙂 ---

I was figuring $200-250, depending on the colorway. For a raw, blasted version… It depends… Was it raw to begin with or stripped? If all original I’d say $250, maybe. But, weren’t all of them anodized? Maybe not… ---

> [@oops](#): > > This. Additionally as far as the value in general goes, it’s no different than buying a new car, as soon as you drive it off the lot, or in this case, as soon as it arrives at your front door, it loses a large part of its value. The run of the mill Chief colorways that people are paying $145-165 retail for seem to be priced from $100-125 and I imagine are generally actually selling in the $100-110 range save for the select few where a person wants a specific colorway and snaps it up without haggling much. > > When it comes to FG CLYW, unless I was desperate for a specific colorway (which I probably wouldn’t be if I was already settling for FG) I personally wouldn’t be willing to pay more than $60ish. Actually it’s nothing like buying a car. A car depreciates with use for obvious reasons. There’s no reason for a yoyo to lose value unless it is damaged or demand has gone down. If you really want to use the car analogy though, typically only cheap cars lose a lot value when you drive them off the lot. Also, don’t be upset with people if they want to figure in the cost of shipping. When I sell a product to an overseas customer, I don’t eat the cost of shipping of bringing it into to my warehouse, and I won’t eat the cost of shipping of brining in a Yoyo from Canada. It is very common to charge customers incoming freight. I didn’t bring in my fools gold CLYWs from Canada to give you a break on shipping. If it costs me $85 to get it to me, and it’s still mint in box, I’m not going to sell it to you for $65 just because that was the price tag Canada. IF it cost me $85, it’s going to cost you nearly that much. ---

I completely understand where you are coming from, but I’m just not sure that unless a throw is reasonably rare, or highly sought after that the bst works like that. But again it doesn’t matter if someone purchases your throw at the value you assign it. What you will notice though is that few throws in this thread, that are made in any significant number, have been valued close to retail. For that reason this thread may not provide you with evaluations you will like. Again that’s not an issue, because you have clear evaluations for all your throws which is the retail price. 🙂 ---
