Ichiro unobtanium

This topic makes me ill... most of these rubber kits were pennies on the dollar not long ago. Anyone who invested heavily in these a year or three back is probably making 10x their investment. Good for them, but its still BS, whatever... Reality is what it is and we are seeing these OEM rubber kits half-life their way out of availability month after month it seems. For those of us who are OEM diehards this really sucks as the rubber scalpers cash in.

Anyway, OCP rubber kits...

Green #35-175
Blue #35-173
and Red (Ducati, with the black bombs) #35-174
These seem to be the most common, but all are getting equally harder to find in a new/full kit. They were $75 to $80 a few months ago. Good luck finding a full kit now for less than $100, and be prepared to pay a few $s more if you are in a pinch for one. :mad:

White kits (not sure the #) are mostly 'partial' in that they generally only have one size of nose bombs or tshox when you do find them. I would say a complete set of these is harder to find than purple/IH, as we know the IH Juliets included all of the above - 6 of one half dozen of the other IMO. I'd say $140-$150 is on the low end as a full white kit is likely worth $175 if not more. I offer that as purple/IH rubbers go for $150 easily in used condition to upwards of $180, even $200 in like new or even gently used condition. It is obscene, and painful, but hey - that's the market we have created for them!
Holy cow....
 
You might be right on the whites but who would shed 175 for white rubbers is anyones guess?? Thats why i think a good 150 is reasonable for those whites.....if somebody wants to pay a full 175 for whites they must be desperate i think lol but hey thats just me.
 
I know parting out new white earsocks, nose bombs (small or large, but not both), and tshox, 15s or 25s, but not both can get you close to $150. That is for 6 pieces (2pc socks, 2 pc bombs, 2pc shox) - not the full 10pc kit.

That's the part that is so irritating... If anyone has FULL and COMPLETE white sets of OEM rubbers they want to sell for $150 send me a PM (and pics or it didn't happen).

Maybe the white rubber fairy will post a pic of complete unicorns here for us? When is the last time anyone saw a new full complete set of white OEM X-Metal rubbers available (aside from that set they have stashed away for that fateful day...)?

I won't even get into XX or Mars vs the more mainstream Juliet kit.

Like I said, its BS.
 
Lucky me
