What is this disc worth?

[prerube]

Use this thread to post a picture of a disc and we can comment on what we think the value of the disc is, or simply as questions about the values of disc.

Edit: We ran into some trouble without rules, so here are the "Ten Commandments of the 'What is this disc worth?' thread":

1. To get the best estimate, you must post:

a. Disc type
b. Plastic type
c. Disc weight
d. Disc condition
e. Pictures

If you don't know this information and/or cannot post a picture, it's a crapshoot. The estimates are based on the information you give, so the better that information is the better estimate you will get.

2. Don't belittle the person giving a value. They are giving you their opinion because you asked them for it. Take it for what ever grain of salt that you wish.

3. A Picture is worth 1,000 words, so I will repeat that whenever possible you should post pictures.

4. If the disc you have is still in production, it's worth whatever they sell for. If it's still in production and yours is used, it's worth whatever they sell for minus $3-$5. No need to bother asking.

5. Post pictures.

6. If no one gives you an estimate, it's because no one knows. There is no need to keep quoting yourself over and over trying to get somebody to make up a number.

7. Post pictures.

8. Post pictures.

9. Post pictures.

10. And finally, post some pictures already!!!

I hope these easy to follow guidelines will keep this thread running smoothly from here on out.

I'll start off.
Are prototypes worth more than regular discs of the same mold?

 

[valkyrie]

I think it should be limited to "rarer" discs. Not DX valks and beasts.

 

[prerube]

second question is

this leopard any better than the newer stamp leopard?

Third question: Do all Classic Ontario Rocs say 1995 on them?

 

[jkdisc]

i think i will visit this thread often

 

[billnchristy]

That Leopard is certainly meaner looking.

 

[jacob2918]

lol my buddy wont throw any other leopards but those

 

[jacob2918]

anyone know how much this could be worth? ive seen a few flat tops. but this is a pearly champ viking. and its super flat. besides that i know nothing. not really planning on trading but what would yall consider fair trades if it was you making the deal?

 

[JR Stengele]

Used, $15 at best. New, $20?

 

[jacob2918]

lol sweet i need to find more then

 

[prerube]

I have asked in 2 threads if anyone knows if all Classic Ontario Rocs say 1995 on them, but no one knows. I bought one and their is NO WAY it is from 1995, so I think they are all stamped with the 1995. Can anyone confirm this?

 

[prerube]

sidenote, most people feel the dolphin (the disc I have been looking for) is worth around $25-30

 

[billnchristy]

My 2 pro classic rocs are ranchos and my champ classic roc is an ontario with no 1995 on it.

 

[prerube]

I went to marshallstreet and it looks like all classic ontario rocs say 1995, but I don't know how to tell which one I have.

 

[billnchristy]

Oh now I get it, yeah they all say that.

Hoping to pass them on to my son one day. Really just wanted to share a few pics of some of my goddies, and see if any body my know what they might be worth.

I'll start off.

Yes. No. Maybe.

See, this is a proto Condor.

It's not worth anything. It might actually be worth LESS than a regular production Condor, because at least a regular production Condor would draw in those guys collecting the full circle Innova stamps. The Condor is an old disc with no following, and no matter what I do I'd probably get less for this disc than the $7.00 I paid for it. I still thinks it's cool, so I don't care.

But, timing is everything. There was a time when the Condor at least had a following. There were old guys who liked to use Condors for thumb rollers back in the day. In the right place at the right time I might have gotten one of those guys to give me $10.00 for it just for the cool factor of throwing a disc with the proto star stamp. 30% profit is pretty good in a general sense.

Basically everything is hot for a little while (unless it's the Mako!) If you time it right, you can unload a proto for decent cash. If the disc becomes an enduring classic, it might be worth decent money down the road.

Of course the proto Eagles I have were totally blown out of the water by CE. You would have to trade a whole box of proto Eagles for a CE Eagle. So even if the disc has a good following, other factors can screw it up.

Sometimes the proto's become hot because the disc gets retooled before it goes into regular production. Of course, you can't predict that.

Basically, it's a crapshoot.

 

[prerube]

The first one is worth $2.83 want to sell I give you double

 

[prerube]

The wiffle fying saucer is around $45-50

They made so many back then that they still sell them to this day. You should notice a small number 8 towards the middle/bottom. this is the 8th mold

(this is what a rather reputable source told me at a tournament)
