Blade II OTT

[Joe Stephenson]

Only 300 of these made with etched lenses I believe.

I would say $800-$900.... But themarket is down a little

Thanks buddy. With only 300 made I would the value is up there.

Ha ha ha!

Good morning, friends!

I've been wanting one myself for ages!!

They come up so rarely, it's hard to estimate what a "fair" value is.

I think the price would fluctuate wildly not based on "standard" established pricing but more based on what an individual collector would want to pay at that particular time.

Incomplete is always going to be less. How much less though? I'd be thinking probably 25% of the total cost.

If you already have one, then the value of buying another is diminished which is probably why Dallas has suggested $600.

Normal FMJ OTTs seem to be going for $500-600 complete.

Black OTTs come up more rarely and are more.

The Blade II OTT are the rarest black pair. 300 as has been stated previously.

If you don't have one (like me), then I'd pay more. I think I agree with @"TRUMP". I'd be saying $800-900. Maybe more even. What's a couple of hundred for a super rare piece?

Having said that, the other way of looking at it is questioning whether the etching itself is worth a $300-400 (or more) premium on top of the black rarity. That is really what it comes down to.

You could argue that John F. Kennedy's signature is just a pen on paper which anyone could copy, but others would disagree and pay $39,000!!....and that's not even talking about Jimi Hendrix's signature.

Pay what you want.

The rest of the world is laughing at us anyhow. But they just don't appreciate TRUE art!!!!

Q. Of course there's going to be disagreement. That's why there's such a thing as a forum....instead of a price list of values! Ha ha ha!

I didn't eat any. Hahahahahahaha

I sold my own complete, mint glass, excellent box, via an ebay auction in Feb 2015 for £590 net (after ebay/paypal fees). Few made it out into the wider world as it was recalled by Oakley for legal reasons in the first days after release.

I don't appreciate the eBay suggestion. I am not posting it for sale. Simply wanted to know an estimate value since it does not appear often.
