Hard to say.

Looks real.

I have not seen a fake ogre before.

Though I am no expert on clacks.

It looks real to me. It's an image, though, so I can't tell if it's a drawing or real.

As you know I am new here, what do you guys advice. I got $150 to spend on this, it's my Christmas gift to my self, or should I save up for a candy corn skull?

Looks like a Gummyrot to me.  It would be up to Clack to say if it's fake.

It has the correct ClackFactory Stamp.

It is certainly a design that was made.

Are we allowed to discuss prices in the open here. If so does $1-5-0 seem like a good bargain in your opinion? it does have a chip after all?

Yes, we are free.

That is a good price these days imo. Some people may say the chip is an issue, but it wouldn't bother me. I mean, it's on the bottom side. Without it, perhaps the cap would be worth $200.

For what its worth, one of my CLACKVENT caps came in with a chip on the backside.

So yea it happens time to time, but your clack looks legit.

$150 isn't too bad a price, but it's hard to call it a bargain

I had a freak chip on a Miz Kite a little less bad than that. I used my trusty keypuller I always use on artisans and regular caps, and the thing just chipped a tiny bit anyhow. Prob just a small imperfection. No big deal, especially in that location.

I don't know why mindoculus started it at $200. Makes no sense. Start it at $1 and it prolly would have gotten near $200.

It looked like it was sculpted and was made of wax though. I don't think it had the letter markings on the clack copy bottom

He cast a wax copy and pretended like he carved it.  He's a hack.

I guess I have a lot to learn. I bought a cap from him once when I was newer and I felt like i was an ass for supporting him with my purchase once I found out all the drama behind it.
