Rick has the, at BAA rig now for 99 bucks, so maybe 80 due to the damage?

Being that looks like an original and not one of those piss poor colored repros that are floating around, I'd say it's worth substantially more than one of those.

10k by the refake.

Originally they were called gold eagle toppers. Now even PPS calls his replacements mustard green eagle toppers. lol. At least he's honest. lol.

I imagine it would be a quick sale at $50.

Usually a nice original like this will sell for 100-150 and a perfect one with bracket 2-250.... i much perfer this original over any repro ever made....

I'd put all the info out there about no quality reproductions made, and let the bidding war begin.

I got a nice nos original off ebay for $225 recently.
IMO an original topper is much more valuable than the repro.
The repro colors are awful.

I'd say $50 on a good day

Technically ForceFlow is correct, it would definitely be a quick sale at $50

But you might as well close this thread because you already know what it's worth if 3 people pm'd you in the first 5 minutes saying they'd buy it.

The market has spoken.

My first Dredd had an original topper and still does. I've had a few different repros pass thru here and none were anything I'd want on top of the machine.

I paid $100 for a nice original a few years ago for another Dredd, but it was from a stand up guy by the name of PinRob and I felt I got a good deal.

There are always guys popping up on the Judge Dredd thread looking for toppers, and they usually take whatever they can get. Even the green repros.

I wouldn't be surprised if this one hasn't already sold.

I think an original Eagle Topper in good condition would insta-sell at $100, be at market at $150 and fishing for $200+.

NOS original would be an entire different discussion.

I was being serious, like I usually am. I said if you wanted to *sell it quick*, it would go at $50. Could you get $75, $100, or more? I honestly don't know what the top dollar amount would be on the topper in this condition. If you really want top dollar, put up an auction on ebay. You won't know what it will actually bring until real money is on the table.

As for your other comments--if you knew me at all on a personal level, you should know by now that I always offer my honest opinion with no hidden agendas in any thread no matter who is participating. Just because you didn't like the way one interaction went doesn't mean it also colors my particular contributions in the next discussion elsewhere. As far as I'm concerned, when a discussion is concluded, it gets put away on a shelf and I just move on to the next page or chapter and don't really linger on it. I understand if you don't think and feel the same way--and that's fine; everyone is different. I just don't appreciate the jump to the wrong conclusions.

Sounds like it's worth $100

with crack and no bracket 80 euro

Mine is presumably a repro. I got it about 2 years ago digging around on forums here. $60 shipped. It looks just the same except the color was flat. I spent a few bucks on some gold glitter spraypaint that made it pop in an awesome way. Of course some people are adamant about original vs. repro. At the end of the day, I care about how good it looks.

"I'd like to know what this is worth"

"STOP LOWBALLING ME"

Sounds like you already knew what it was worth.

While I agree that $50 is certainly low, I will say I'm surprised at how much interest there is at $100(+) for a topper that is not only broken, but has a healthy amount of paint splattered on it.

It's no knock you OP, and I hope you get whatever you're asking for it. I'm just genuinely surprised given the condition.

Have you ever tried to remove the white paint at all? It's a shame too given the questionable quality of the reproductions available.

Originals are hard to find.
I looked for a long time before I found one.
I got lucky and got a NOS one for a reasonable price.

Full latex removal might make this a collectors item.

Maybe it's just me, but if I were selling this, I'd take the five minutes and clean the paint off. Then again, maybe someone wants one with white speckles.

Geez dude then why not sell for $100 rather than berate everyone that has an opinioon this? With pps selling these new in stock without the need to scrub off some white paint or whatever, I was thinking $50 as well. Perhaps that's just an honest answer to your question.

It is broken and dirty. Can't see why anyone would be wanting to pay more than $50, including shipping.

Thats the customer service that buyers are clamoring for!

I guess you didn't read the rest of this thread. PPS is not selling these, as NOS stock has long been depleted.

So, I'm confused... is the OP selling this for $100?

You need to make a video & send in an application.

Whos not?

WTF so why is it still for sale? You said you had 3 people PM you and offer $100, you're selling for $100, yet it's still sitting for sale.

Oh I see. So your proof that it was easily worth $100 being that you had 3 PM's offering you $100 for it, wanted it for $100 *shipped*, so it's really worth the $50 that several of us suggested I guess. My JD has a topper so I have no need for yours with all the paint and scuffs. I prefer nicer things than that. And, this isn't a for sale thread. It's a price check thread. So I don't need to be interested in your product to be a participant.

$50 to ship a lightweight box with this and packing peanuts inside? Ouch.

The paint splatter adds a bit of weight. No idea why the OP wouldn't just clean off the paint and sell it clean without any caveat of "it'll clean up quickly and easily"?

Probably could've already cleaned it up in the time it took to type your replies in this thread.

Haha, I was thinking the same thing.
