Vader Saber Replicas - Please Help With Pricing Info

[MattMunson]

This is not a for sale thread.

I am trying to figure out market value for these three sabers. Ebay prices are ALL OVER THE PLACE and are entirely inconsistent. Any information would be greatly appreciated. DM me if you'd rather not post here.

None of these have paperwork, cases, or shipping boxes. I received the MR pieces as artists proofs from SD. All saber hilts are in excellent condition. The t-track on the MR sabers has gotten sticky.

ANH:

ESB Signature Edition.

ROTJ SDStudios version:

You might want to clean the stickiness of the t-tracks with some goo-gone or rubbing alcohol. It might increase the value a bit.

Wow... in their day MR did some really nice work...

I popped all the T-track off my lightsabers that were sticky and used a lot of 90% isopropyl alcohol w/ a nylon scrubbing "toothbrush" found at Harbor Freight.

Loose I sold the two MPP versions for ~$250.
I sold the paperwork separately.

I usually follow lightsaber FS in the JY and currently for a static saber hilt with either no electronics (hollow) or static/solid hilt (like prequel Council sabers) the prices usually go between $350-$450 depending on the saber and condition.

MR sabers that come with the box, case, paperwork, etc.. can go for $800-$1500+ depending on the saber. I know AP sabers didn't come with the box and paperwork, but most hardcore MR collectors only want to spend top-dollar on mint-complete sabers so lose APs still only go for $350-$450.

I've picked up a few MR sabers for $250-$350 because they didn't come with anything but the saber itself (Luke ANH, Luke ROTJ V2).

Despite the heritage, MR or even older ones like SD Studios, static sabers are usually in the $350-$450 range.
