Post Secret Base Market Value
Judging by the flocked and silver wing auctions, looks like rare secret base (pushead) is still holding value. I thought they were gonna go for less.

is it because it's Pushead or uber rare SB? there were a couple of other wings that went for a steal the other day, right?

hmmmmmm, tricky...

i'm bummed. hoping to score that silver glow wing.... :(

I am guessing because its Pushead and that brings in people who normally wouldn't collect Secret Base. So you have both Secret Base and Pushead collectors going at it.

I gave up on the silver glow as I have the glow vinyl with blue spray, and the grey vinyl. A blank glow, like the Halloween set, would catch my attention.

Yep
red skullwing for 177 opened but mint
blue glow for 127 SEALED
grey 150 SEALED

the silver glow went for a staggering 350

But I do enjoy my new grey and red wings

=p

The seller had the whole bunch of rad skullwings. Wonder how he came up on them.

hey toybot... it is a well known fact that I am next in line for a silver spray.

anyways, i think there are certain SB figures that will go pretty high, but in this case it's because it is Pushead

hahaha the skullwings suck on ebay, fifty thousand last minute bidders. The ones I got were boosted up to my maximum almost in the last ten seconds and the silver glow went from 125 to 350 in two minutes. Probably would have been higher if some people got in their last second bids.

The silver glow eh? I had to trade big to get mine - a rare OG mutant evil - but I was stoked to get him.

$177 for teh red is a good deal - mine cost more. My blue glow was a deal - $46 on ebay before SB mania struck, and before SB.org was around. The same seller also had the silver glow, but I was outbid, and it went for......




$47!!!!!

I think early Killer Secret Base will remain on the high end with some rare low prices here and there. IMO the SkullWing is The Bases finest to date and the 2 GID's and the RED are just Fantastic and always will be some of the finest Japanese Vinyl ever sprayed...The Silver is still my all-time favorite Carl!

Id like to see a Wing with Kaiju spray and no masked off trunks or gloves and no logo.....like the Kaiju sprayed Bee/Mantis which are timeless FKN Killers... Classics...my fave spray of each sculpt.

47 and 46 bucks?! you know i hear a 100% return on an investment is great if you guys want to double your money let me know :wink:

I honestly slept on base stuff for a long time due to knowing it would take all my money and I was starting to DJ again and needed to buy vinyl records, now I really regret not getting some of the earlier pieces that caught my eye
