Clack Valuation Thread

[pexon]

The red and black is a nice combo Gonna regret selling it, but I can't go through getting a new controller, waiting etc. I've not used it in like 8 months, its a shame to have it sitting there doing nothing when someone else could enjoy it, plus the money from the sale will allow me to get some progress done on my fallout project

[HoffmanMyster]

Hey guys, can I get a price on these:-

Topre mount Hardcore White
Topre mount EK Blue (second)

Priced to sell, not looking at crazy money

$100-150 for each

This makes it hard to believe that a 3D CC is about $150. Are they about as common as single color skulls? Just bought one for $200 and I dunno if that was a good price, but I think so?

Yes, $200 for a 3D is a good price.

3D is more expensive than Hardcore White and EK Blue now?  This surprises me.

Personally, I wouldn't expect the two pexon listed to be that inexpensive.  But I dunno. 

* HoffmanMyster shrugs

[Dyslexic]

I'm inclined to agree with Hoff, $100-$150 for those two caps is not realistic unless the seller is willing to leave money on the table. I had a few inquiries regarding the 3D topre skull at $250 (tire kickers, mostly), and a number of legitimate offers at $200US. This was my first time ever selling an artisan for cash, felt a bit dirty doing it but I've spent enough over the years that I think I was due to get some return on my investment. Given the fact that Clacks almost never go up for sale for cash anymore and the vastly expanded demand due in part to r/MK, I think a lot of people are short-selling the potential sale value of Clacks in this thread. There's no way any clack would sit untouched in the forums sub-$150 in this era. I'd hazard a guess that even Oktoberfest and Candy Corn blanks would sell between $150-$200, which were both obtainable sub-$100 a couple of years ago.

I personally think any Clack could bring at least $250 these days, at the right time and with some luck.

But that's just, like, my opinion, man.

[TastaturenAuslese]

It seems like Clack's for sale a worth a bit more now because of (1) whatever's going on with clackvent rednalec, and (2) most people only wanting to trade, rather than sell, clacks. With number 2, people are paying a small premium for the right to buy it in cash rather than have to trade with another artisan.

But the thing is, if you offer Clack at those prices ($150) someone will buy it.

Or list is on eBay and the price will soar to $250+, hence people think they are getting a bargain for $150.

Agreed. I would definitely jump at an Oktoberfest at $150. And of all the sales of Clacks for $100-150 these days, I usually see them go in the first half hour, with a bunch of PM's to the seller.

That's exactly what I said -- Any clack listed below $150 will get snapped up immediately. If I felt like waiting, I'm confident I could have sold the 3D Clack for $250. Clacks for cash in the classifieds are so rare these days that when they do crop up they sell for crazy prices. If I ever decided to divest of my bro collection (don't see that happening any time soon...) I'm pretty sure every last keycap would fetch north of $120.

All that to say, Pexon asked for a "sell now" price, and $100-$150 certainly qualifies, but I think he could go north of $200 and still flip them in less than a week.

Mystery clack matter

Someone randomly asked me to buy this and I'm curious if GH users think it's fake or not.  I asked for better pictures with a timestamp, but I'm still waiting.  Here are the pictures:

I tried to adjust the brightness to see the stamp, and it looks like the fxe one, but I still want your opinion.  Thanks!

Don't have a lot of experience with clacks but that looks fake to me. I've only seen clacks with the Clack stamp on one of the corners, and not in the centre.

Also, normally a person who'd manage to get a clack would naturally send a photo of it with the timestamp for validity. I feel like to a proper seller, it's instinct to do so.

Older clacks use the FXE logo, which is centered and rectangular.

Not everyone feels the need for a time stamp either.

Can't say if it's fake or real though.

[nubbinator]

CF is on the corner, FXE is centered.

MX Clack stamps are in the middle, just like that one, and say "FXE".  Topre Clack stamps are in the corner and say "CF".  :thumb:

There were a handful of Nightowl V2's and potentially a large influx of BS Clacks should the rest of Clackvent arrive, due to "BS Day".

Now that Clackvent clack's are shipping, is anyone thinking CC prices are gonna drop?

Nope, because most the people selling are greedy and feel entitled to massive inflation and profits because "der market surports it hurrdurr".

That's good. that makes me feel better about my recent clack purchase (before Clackvent got better). =))

But that also sucks, cause massive inflation.

[sethk_]

Nope. There are still not enough CC's to fill the demand.

[btctopre]

skulls should remain solid (or increase because clack trading will be more active), i could see blanks being available for cheaper than current value though if a bunch of lesser demand colors single colors are introduced into supply. current supply for stuff like ghost white is really low, so mostly only collectors have them, but once you pass beyond the people who "have" to have one of everything, who really wants to spend $50+ on a white blank? really tough sell imo, even with the clack hype behind it.

$30, but, hey, we can go with Mr. Clack's own inflation and call it $100.

[Halverson]

What's a topre salute skull worth? $700?

Sounds high to me. I would think even on eBay it would hit $400-500.

$210ish imo unless you take it to eBay, then probably $350+. Not sure how many Clack whales are left without one though.

...Clack whales...

I like that term, for a diehard clack collector I assume?  Is that new?

I've noticed this too.  Seems like the ones who were around back in the day with major collections have vanished.  Conspiracy? ⛛

[btctopre]

...Clack whales...

Not as much die hard, more like big spender. It's just something you hear every now and then in gambling or (micro-transaction-oriented) gaming, describes someone that spends an excessive amount of money to the point where the casino/developer actually takes notice of them and starts to cater to them (as it'd take a substantial amount of average people to replace one whale). It's not quite as applicable here, since the biggest spenders do not directly impact Clack's bottom line (selling only at retail and all), but they indirectly do it by generating discussion/interest each time they make a public purchase at a excessive value, while also pushing average Clack aftermarket value upward to allow Clack to justify increasing his retail price.

So I'm mostly talking about the people that drop 2-3x market value on eBay clacks, but if you look lately a lot of the final bids have stayed below $200, so the whale well might be going dry.

Is it just me or do none of the heavy traders post anymore?? Did they all get taken out by some international clack spy ring?

It sounds like some (like naasfu) are busy, but I'm fairly certain two great collectors moved the bulk of their clacks a few months back to a few other collectors who don't have as sterling of reputation around here, so most of their business is probably being handled behind closed doors (if at all).

Interest in mechanical keyboards/keycaps still continues to grow by a lot though, so could just be that people want to avoid the corresponding increase in "I KNOW YOU AREN'T SELLING BRO, AND I DON'T HAVE WHAT YOU WANT, BUT THAT'S MY DREAM CAP" type spam that grows very tiring.
