Title: DC Caliper Value?
Post by: Retrodan72 on January 23, 2014, 07:52 PM
Right lads, I'm starting to get a few parts together for the Patterson and I feel that there's a few bits I need where I will have to tread in to unknown territory (not repop)  :shocked:

I'm looking at getting an MX1000 caliper in gold, and wondered what sort if prices these fetch currently?  ???

Cheers

Dan. :daumenhoch:

The ones I've seen have gone anything between 65 and 100 depending on condition blue and gold ones seem the most desirable colour

As I feared Glen, cheers for the reply Bud.  :4_17_5:

DC calipers range dependent on condition and colour.
I have found over my limited time in this hobby that some colours go through 'fashionable' times.
Popular colours red/blue/black can fetch premium prices in NOS/Mint because they can go with lots of colour combos.
Gold, in my eyes, seem to be unloved unless somebody is building a Burner or SE (I'm sure there are other classic gold combos that escape me at the minute) and CAN be found at a lower price.

NOS DC MX1000 single calipers can range from £75-£100 at the mo, sometimes higher.

This is just my humble opinion and not a statement of fact.

All good advice noted Nicola.  :daumenhoch:

Very true Nick. I remember maybe 18 months ago, that a few people were looking for gold calipers. The only ones that came up were selling for big money. I seem to recall that they haven't been selling as well recently - I'm sure I've seen a few for sale at reasonable (ish) prices lately that haven't made their asking price. Blue ones always seem to command a high price.
