Opening the R1 tomb... Creeeeaaaaak!

[DylFin]

Locked away, never to see the sun, waiting patiently in their Oakley box - until now... My old R1s in all their glory, they're aliveeeeee!

I'm thinking I might put these on the exchange section soon. The label on the box, which included the Romeo image and serial number is torn off - if only I knew the value of matching serials and boxes then!!!

Nice. That sucks about the label. Put them away for another 30 years in a vacuum sealed box.

You will need a time capsule!

 

[DylFin]

Ha, I might wear them to the grave - now that's dedication for you!!!

I'm in for $300 if you decide to get rid of them. You know...cause of that label thing.

Hmmmmm $300, if only I'd of kept the label!

Just curious, where did you have them hidden, and how did you stumble across them? Cool to find something you had stashed away and forgot about.

To be honest I had 3 pairs, sold 1 mint pair of titanium/gold to Dantes, then another pair of X Metal/black iridium on eBay. I then sort of remembered I had these at the very back of a drawer along with some other goodies!
I had quite a few on display and put the other's away and never really thought about them much, as they weren't my daily wearers!
I'm not saying I'd forgot about them, more I never really thought about them until now as they're my final pair - that's why I'm not sure whether I want to let these go!

That's a tough one. It's gonna all come down to whether you feel like you will regret selling them. Do they have sentimental value to you? Sounds like not, considering you had them stashed away.

Are you in need of the funds? If not, and if I were in your shoes, I wouldn't sell. That's just my opinion though. It's really hard for me to move a piece, even when I need the funds.

You won't have a problem finding a buyer, if priced right, and you decide to sell. Whatever decision you make, good luck.
