And then there was X...
The stories of the two R1s I got off CL are examples of horseshoe up the ass luck. LOLi have short stories on most pairs i have.. just not enough to warrant writing it lol. for example, my first Romeo1 was $250 BIN off ebay. i did a double take, blitzed the description in about 5 seconds and hit the BIN. then i realised the only shipping option was some fancy express thing which was ridiculous because he was within the country right, and it doesnt get much faster even if you paid express. well... seems like i missed a line in the description- FREE SHIPPING IF YOU BIN.
SCORE. 3 days later it arrives, no lens cracks or scratches, the marks in the photos were just smudges. safe to say i was excited
my second R1 followed a year later, but i bid for that one and it went for 350, cant complain
Guy listed a "Juliet" on CL but the pics were an R1 so I instantly contacted him about it. We met up that night and I paid the $100 he wanted for it without hesitation. Came home and turns out it was a Jordan R1! Lenses have some slight imperfections but no where NEAR the usual beat up-ness one usually finds on original R1 lenses. Rubbers were all intact too! That frame will probably remain with me for the long run just because of the sheer luck of it all.
The second R1 I got off CL was listed at $100 too. Had to drive an hour south for that one. It was a titanium with gold iridium and it's beat the hell up. I'm in the process of deciding on what to do with that one.
But yeah, two R1s for $100 a piece.
