How much do the Flying Tigers Gascans cost these days?

I want one and I saw a couple of the sand/blue ones on ebay. One is glasses only, no bag/box/pin. The other listing has everything but the box. I'm not sure how much I should bid for them.

Thanks
 
Both. what i would be willing to pay here on forum, maybe more on eBay since you have added protection and assurances. but also my personal ranking on Juliets based on the history and types sold. A lot has to also be said about supply and demand in the market. I personally stand by placing value on the value itself, not desire. with that said, i wouldn't pay $1k for them. $700 if i really desired them. i would pay $600 for them if they improved my collection (have a pair but not LNIB, creased box, etc) and would jump on them for $450. But if a friend asked me if $700 is a "good deal" on that pair i would say no and only advise him to buy if he really wanted that pair specifically, after all, there IS a value to getting a coveted item but there is a GREATER value in getting a coveted item for a fair/better than fair price. finally there is something to be said and is always repeated when seasoned collectors advise new collectors which I do get the privilege of repeating... be patient, your grail will show up and it is always worth it if you wait patiently to get it at a fair price and enjoy interacting with fellow collectors. But if you go nuts and buy all that you want now because you can you will get burnt out quickly and leave the hobby with less elation that it could have given you.

dang that was a lotta typing... so you gonna sell me a JPPL OR WHAT?
Excellent post and advice.
