Per the title, I would like to trade a pair of mint boxed GSR2 for a like condition Polished Carbon Ichiro Juliet.
I think its a good trade both ways for the collector that has 2 of one and none of the other. Or would rather have one more than the other.
Thread totally open for discussion if you wish: why it will work, why it won't, why you would, why you wouldn't, discussions on rarity, catch-ups for noobs- whatever.

Not for outright sale, sorry. Actually I started discussing an outright sale with BoySniper because I saw his WTB thread but right away I realized that I didn't want the money as much as I wanted to convert it into another display piece that I didn't have- like a polished carbon Ichiro. I realized that whatever value we arrived at, I couldn't go right back out and buy another pair.

As to the trade value I would think pretty high. I just watched that new R2 on eBay sell for what, $885? And that was a common colorway. How many R2 LE's were there? 1- the GSR2. The GSR2 fire lenses are spectacular and production was about 500 pieces. The last pair that I saw sell was something like $900, one of us degenerates will know exactly and for sure. :)

The GSR2 is a fabulous looking pair! One of my favs by far. The last 2 pair of these on Ebay both brought about $900. That object of your desire is dam sexy too. Your trade logic makes perfect sense to me. :).

I don't really know how the going rate for those pairs compare. But for rarity? You mentioned the GSR2 was the only LE R2 with about 500 made. While the 24-035 polished carbon / slate Ichiros were the last of six different Ichiro models with around 1500 made? Maybe I'm missing something but I'd think the GSR2 would be the more desirable, rarer pair and should be worth more, maybe.

Too bad I don't have a polished carbon Ichiro to trade...;)

I think reason ichiro more valuable is the player. I want a ichiro but no one bit so I made my own. Someone help a guy who has helped so many including myself

I saw an unconfirmed something about the polished carbon Ichiros being a Japan-only release. Is that true? Could that make up the difference in rarity?
