Hmm... a agree with Mitsurugi-w I think his assessment is spot on with this one.
Most of the time I agree with mainman but how can dd1 be worth anymore than 100 (i think thats top end to be honest)... and in the other thread you said rare black gigawing for 100 and gigawing blue for 120-130.
Not trying to start an argument just my 2c.
A bare blue unphoenixed board I'll do $100 unshipped but look closely at my words you quoteed, it comes with a A board. Now is the community so spoiled they expect a free us/jap mobo with every purchase, it doesn't matter what you think its worth as it still has value. I quoted $125 on the low end with the mobo
Now why would I quote a board I called rare in this case a black gigawing lower than a blue version of the same game. Once again I explained in that very same topic why, because to a vast majority of people its a liability which can not be phoenixed but I can do it. Its a time bomb to you but I'll take it off your hands, hell I'll give you a phoenixed green version as a even trade if you want. A blue board is not common so if you want a cheaper alternative go green because the increased price for the blue is a different collecting demographic which are not strictly gamers.
If someone can dictate the cost of a board and get it from one person or 100 people at their price all the power to them. But for the record unless I need to raise funds for a new kidney or some other misfortune they will never insult me with a low ball offer. I'll just keep scrapping the boards instead as I already have my primary collection and there obviously no more need for me to provide a service by selling this stuff if I am going to argue with price. It like when you want that brand new TV but you think the price is unfair and you want it AT YOUR PRICE, you can shop around and wait for that low price which may only show up when the planets are aligned and circuit city goes out of business again, this is all of course if this low price doesn't only exist in your head to begin with
See the funny thing is the vast majority of the people your seeing these deals from are very likely a little down on their luck and going out of the collecting business other wise you think they would just be giving their stuff away and these deals might not just be a permanent norm people. During better times these same people were pricing their stuff higher than my stuff and would still be so now if the shit didn't hit the fan.
Sneek you are a more extreme collector than me (supposively more kits). You of all people know there are gamers and collectors but in the end any item is only what a individual is willing to pay for it.
