What are these costing people? Are they 10's of thousands? The holy grail of JW collectables...

Sorry was just playing...
Price on these are on the rise...
I wouldn't sell mine for $50k so that's what they are worth to me...

[harvestgirl]

oh yeah, i'm w/ ya. someone was asking me today what i'd sell for, i said i'd *maybe* consider it for $50k.

are you home, i need to email you about something.

[chrono_1980]

That's a pretty nice car... or a good downpayment on a house.

Bow down to the true die-hards! I have to win the lotto... and even then finding one is another story...

Although I was serious about letting mine go, I'm really happy I decided not to.

oh that sarcastic clap must mean you want me to keep talking about this one

and my comment was directed at kees, whom i was in negotiations with for his, so YES it is pretty awesome that he still has one & i ended up w/ one, i am sure HE understood my comment.

and here we go again, jumping on my shit because.............?

it's ok for everyone else who has one to talk about it, but not me? right. ok. makes total sense

[hawke000]

I'll look up the run out tomorrow for you.
As for price, $300+ for a nice 1st pressing, $3000+ for a Pink Lafayette, $15,000+ for a Hand Painted version.

word..

i should've been more specific. 2nd press on black; oddly enough, its really only the main one i want (there's a backstory to it/its been haunting me for 8 years now). Thanks for the info nonetheless..
