The OP said frame only no box and trashed lenses, xmetal. Start at 250, add 120 for lenses, 100 for box and coin, and you'll be at 470. That's on the low side but possible for non matching box and frame. Not so far off am I??

I was low I admit but 300 is more realistic value of frame only than 400 IMHO.

I was lucky enough to get a serialed XX TiO2 frame&rubbers only / no lenses in great condition for $275, but more likely you're looking at $400...

Have you considered Juliets instead? Very similar, much more economical, and you can never have too many...

Right but less for Xmetal.

I tried to sell an xx xmetal with perfect lens but no box and no takers at 450 and no offers below 375!

That's real seller experience... But I admit that was the exchange not eBay ....

Your right 300 good a few months ago but x xx has settled lower lately while x squared is riding high.. They all go in cycles they rebound after a certain time..I 'd trade frame for frame too.

Nope your right going by those prices, I would have said 300 plus 80 plus 50 on the fair side IMHO.

Prices have dropped weirdly on all X Metals to a degree, way to many being listed on the forum, but not many buyers this go around. Tax season I think did it, plus a bit being spent on new x metals. The bay has dropped too a bit, I am still doing fairly well there, but sales aren't as quick as 3 months ago. At 400 or so, its still a decent investment.

ALL this talk about Shelf Whores is upsetting my collection , but here at home, they look at my copper juliet and my Ti-02 Black and say "We are still perfect, go ahead and wear yourself out!!!" I choose a pair or two and don't touch the rest. Its an investment to me, and the collection was built purposefully for it. I feel paranoid and guilty if I grab a perfect pair to sport for an hour or two, so revert back to my customs. Looking at the cabinets and seeing all perfect pristine new pairs adds an element of satisfaction to me, also when it is time to sell a pair or two its fairly easy due to them being like new. BUT...... each person treats their collection their own way, for it is their hard earned money that pays for it, so treatment of the collections is honored

Thanks all for the input @saulsaul @InfiniteHero @kronin323 @dingo ate my baby ... Time to start keeping eye on the exchange

 

[dingo ate my baby]

The bay too

That starts a conversation that belongs in a different thread lol I have no idea how to tell what is legit on the bay... Would rather buy from a trusted forum member unless a ridiculously good deal comes around and then I can ask if it's real later
