Pricing help please

[Dave]

Hi guys I need to down size my collection of mods BUT i'm unsure about how much to ask.....

Can you guys give me some ball park figures please

MVP V2 4 months old in black (like new)

VAMO V2 in stainless trade on AAEC and never used (used but looks 8/10)

VAMO V5 black crome 1 month old (is new)

STINGRAY CLONE mech mod used twice (good condition)

I need an innokin 134 in my life but I need to move the mods I don't use

Cheers Dave

What I normally do if I'm unsure is have a look in the completed section of the classies to see what price similar things went for recently. Without stating the obvious, they're only worth what someone will pay for them whatever the condition.

The Vamo V2 is available for around £13-£14 from china, the v5 available for around the £10 mark. A good stingray clone from fasttech is £10. The MVP 2 is around £36 to buy in the UK.

A tenner each or a little less if worn or damaged seems decent for the vamos or stingray as many people dont wanna wait 2 weeks or so for new ones to arrive from Chinaland. As for the MVP, it depends upon condition.

Remember that people generally wont pay full price for items second hand since they dont have the same protection they do buying from a vendor (arrive dead/faulty etc.) I'm sure you would never try to pass on dodgy gear, but years of ebay and classified ads have made people more wary.

Downsize? DOWN size?!?!? What's this??

@spikeyfridge s shopping philosophy =

The advice I would give is be honest about their origin, if you bought in the UK then say so and price based on what you paid for it. If it came from China then dont price against UK cost.

As an example if you bought an MVP into the UK for ay £40 then it's reasonable to ask for £25 to £30, but if you bought it from China for £20 then £10 would be more suitable.
Don't quote me on prices, I have no idea what an MVP costs these days.

Ask what you would be happy to accept is my advice Dave . . . the rare occasion I part with anything ( ) then I'm happy to get anything back if I've no intention of using it again.

We all like a bargain after all.

Ooh good to know. I'll give you £7.83 and a bag of smarties for your ipv2 Perpetua I've never seen you post anything else about it so it's gotta be lounging in a drawer somewhere

Thanks for the replies guys,

I'm going to think about it today and stick a post in classifieds if I decide to sell

But the more I think about it, the more I think that thet are doing no harm where they are

I think I may be a collectamanic

I was only saying last month that I was complete on the mods front... since then I went and got 3 isticks, and egrip, a vapourshark and a gizmo
I really AM done with mods....honest!

In my defense, the isticks and egrip are somewhat throwaway (unless someone works out battery replacement) and the gizmo is a member of my armageddon collection and I was always planning to pick up a vapourshark.....but theres always something out on the market to tempt me.

The last time I sold on a mod I missed it so much I had to go rebuy it off the classifieds section, so I will have to think long and hard before I cull gear in future! But I probably will do a spring clean in the new year as I do have a mod or three too many

Oh Jeez!! and then I saw that the microstick now comes in COLOURS!!!! and its black Friday reductions, I tell you - avoiding the temptation is killing me
If it wasn't for my 'basic black rule' I'd be down at the bottom of my vodka bottle in effort to pass out (as opposed to press button)
