Post by: xCoolBeans on Wed, 09 July 2014, 23:19:56
I remember seeing a Darth Vader keycap on this forum for around 300$ and someone bought it

He owns the only one in existence.  So he is valuing it at what he pleases.  Half joke, half truth (he may very well only let it go for that amount).

I think I saw some caps go for $350 last summer in an auction, but I don't remember.  I'll check on that.

Edit: Here (http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=47112.msg1000156#msg1000156)'s a link.  I can't recall higher prices than the highest Clack prices in this thread.  Clack prices are a bit of a sore subject around here, though, so be aware of that.  I'm simply posting this for the sake of information.

I dunno, I don't think I would pay over $850 for the Spumoni.

I still favour the red esc even though that isn't the most expensive.

Some clacks have gone for $400 over on DT. OG Tri, pretty sure the GH Tris have gone for $400+
 Guac and Toxic have gone for absurd amounts too

wtf, is someone editing my posts?

Wasn't a certain former GH member selling a single Clack for $999.99?

Couldn't find the link in the short term, but I think it was posted in Great Finds at one stage.

Even worse.

But that does not really count as it was not necessarily a serious offer.

I think for it to count, the transaction has to have actually taken place.

It's funny that we have to even explicitly state that.  I thought noisyturtle made the same point well enough when he claimed his Spumoni is worth $900.  But oh well.

By the way, I'm listing my Enviro BS at $50,000.  Oh look I win.

all of those ****ty little piece of plastic are worth the $1 in material, the true cap is the sterling silver Bro Bot V2, $180

If we're going by "value" then I "value" my one of a kind broken ctrl key at $50000 and therefore all other caps are weaksauce.

Most of these were much more reasonable prices to start with.

Have patience, and you will see sales occurring from time to time.

There has been a resurgence in F2 popularity as people realise that each one is unique.
