I have no problem with reselling from a sale, I do however have a problem with some people thinking a 600% or more markup is OK.
That's not OK and it sounds moot when I say I won't pay more than a 400% markup, but you have to draw a line in the sand or newer folks will keep thinking it's cool to inflate the aftermarket prices further.

Any mark up after first sale is ridiculous.  The only "markup" I think is justifiable after buying directly from the seller is the original cost + shipping + cost of shipping again.  After that first resale, the price, including shipping, should not inflate.  You did nothing to add value to the piece so you don't deserve to make a profit on it when there's a line of people wanting one.  You're a scumbag if you buy just to flip.  Those are no better than people who buy out the hot holiday toy of the year, then flip it on eBay or Craigslist to desperate parents at 300-500% over retail.

I'm outspoken on this issue though and I doubt I'll make a huge impact on anything. 

Anyways, this discussion is taking a turn for another thread, not one that really belongs here.

i'm always with you on this matter nubs. not to mention, that the clack is 'used', so used item prices should go down instead of jacked up insanely high.

and yeah, not to derail or rustle anything, just saying my personal opinion.  ;D

Depends on the color. Blacks are more common, there are also red and green ones but I don't think there are many around of those.

$200 minimum I'd say.
It's a good width!  If it's half-width it's too narrow, and full-width is too wide.

$150ish? Maybe a bit more since it's one of the less common single colors as far as I know.

This would be my guess as well. If anything, I think it would be higher. And I feel like I've seen it trade for more valuable things in the past, but can't remember exactly.

What would a ChemBro be worth in Clacks?
People in the 1980s, in general, were clearly just better than we are now in every measurable way.

Whatever you and someone else think is a fair trade.

Also, if you like it what you're trading for, it's worth it.

I have been ghosting everything click clack since 2011 now and the prices are literally a laughing stock. After coming to terms that i would never get my hands on an "Authentic" click clack key for my HHKP2 i have practically become a recluse and have even considered getting into my old molding. Which realistically could benefit my old mans sewing MFG. Figuring i convinced myself that i was going to start a prototype GH exclusive all in one peripherals bag and got caught up with life the adventure of learning a new craft (instead of staring at another bag in a sea of 'quite possibly' a million others) could propel one to say not "copy" but come up with ones own trade mark keycaps. Face it, topre caps need some love.

On topic: How much are the original black back drop, white skull press with red eye topre caps going for now a days anyway? That is still my dream HHKP2 ESC key...It would be the red translucent one if they ever decided to make a HHKP3 with some kind of LED backdrop. How sick would a HHKP2 be with a white LED backdrop, PBS white/black checker board design be? Sure wish i knew how to solder or wasn't sitting with permanent jazz hands from adderall to work with small wiring and soldering rofl.

That would be the "OG Tri" Clack, and it's going for quite a bit, if you can find one.  I don't remember specific prices, since it's been awhile since I saw one trade hands publicly, but "a few hundred dollars" would be a good starting point.  ;)  And apparently prices have skyrocketed in the last few weeks with eBay sales proving that common single colour clacks are now selling for $150-$200.   :confused:  So really, anything can happen.   >:D

Oh you know don't mind me, i can just ya know buy 2 entire topre boards for 1 topre keycap. For $450 you could try and fail enough times that 1 of them could probably come out right and figuring with the sea of fraudulent "clack keys" floating around the market is as fickle a mistress as ever.

You are correct.  I'm not saying that I think it's great that they're selling at that price, just saying that they are.  ;)  I don't play the Clack aftermarket game, I just watch the show.  :P

Could I get a value on a HC White Topre CC? I also have a white MX CC that doesn't seem to be HC White and is instead a little "milkier" in colour. Has an FXE marking on the back. Any ideas as to what it could be and what it could be worth?

If this helps, these are the two CCs in question side by side. The topre HC White is on the left.

So do both clacks have the FXE on the back? Or just one?

DUDE! Stop posting that **** in here! This is why people think Ebay prices are what to base value off of. Try selling those on any forum in the world at those prices and you'l be laughed right back under your bridge.

It's unhealthy to perpetuate fake inflated prices are real. Stop it.

I told you guys Freedom Eagle was going to $1400 and everyone thought I was joking.

Not that I've put it on eBay yet...

Not that I would do that.

Could I get a value on a HC White Topre CC? I also have a white MX CC that doesn't seem to be HC White and is instead a little "milkier" in colour. Has an FXE marking on the back. Any ideas as to what it could be and what it could be worth?

So do both clacks have the FXE on the back? Or just one?
The Topre has CF and the other one has FXE

Realforce Topre 91 Key JIS Profile - Main

I think that Jack O is really worth $700. I mean, it's pretty freaking awesome.








Yeah, I'm totally just trying to annoy Noisy. Haha.

STOP BASING PRICES OFF OF EBAY!!1!

In this case, I agree with you.

But hwood's caps sold legitimately.  Why can't we use those prices?

eBay fees, for one.  I have also noticed a huge disconnect between eBay prices and real market prices on many items.

Yep.  And even when we had auctions here, they were noticeable higher priced than non-auctions.  But the fact of the matter is that the caps did sell for those prices, so we can't simply ignore them.  IMO, they just deserve an asterisk by them to denote "auction".  They are still legitimate sales though.

Noisy you shouldn't be hating on eBay prices, you could probably get over $1,000 for spumoni.
