Price check on ANH Obi Lightsaber

[jhusel]

How much is a Romans Empire saber worth these days? I'm thinking about selling mine but have no idea how much it's worth?

Pretty!

Looks decent, but it's not his last and most accurate run so... How 'bout what you actually paid for it, plus a little for your troubles (10%?). Post it at that price in the Junkyard and see who bites. I couldn't say for sure, but there's the possibility you may have to take a loss. I could be wrong though.

well, if it helps, i just sold a resin obi wan lightsaber for almost 70 dollars...just to give you an idea...

$250-$350 depending on how it's finished.

*edit*
If it's the older gear (not based on the booster), and the plastic modern AS Handwheel, and the pre-Balance Tube emitter, about $200.

also, you can gaurantee yourself some extra cash if you weather the saber...people will be all over it if you weather it!

Thanks guys, I think I'll put it in the Junkyard and see what happens!

Good luck getting that. I tried selling a saber in that price range and was told it was too expensive.
Seems alot of people want stuff for nothing.:unsure

How would that help exactly?

Well I was offered a chance to buy this but Id already invested in some parts to build my own. I would have taken it otherwise.
There are a lot of different makes out there now- MR, Parks (yey!/boo!!!), Roman- who seems to have gone(?), Icons...etc etc.
Its a mine field once your in it to buy- I'd know! ;-(
A built up saber seems to be cheaper that its sum of parts though- it depends on how accurate the built up one is.
Good luck

The problem with anything is that when the new and improved version is available, the old model however good or expensive it may have been, always suffers in resale value.

Additonally, there's been so many versions, licensed, unlicensed, and the multitude of parts runs, I'm supirsed everyone doesn't already have one. Heck, I've never even purchased a fully machined or complete prop and somehow ended up with THREE Obi ANH sabers at one point!

But if you've still got that saber, I'd be willing offer twice that. Wait. Nothing times two is...? Oops, never mind.
