What is this disc worth?

[apdrvya]

at least now we have john houck's phone number...
to the right person maybe ten bucks, other than that, 6-7 bucks.

This one is a REAL collector's item.

Yes, it looks like a super-warped convention frisbee, with an odd knob on the right.

But that odd knob is actually 8 LEDs in a vertical line.

The underside shows the genius of it all:

You turn on the off/on switch, and the LEDs blink. Lots. Fast. SEEMINGLY randomly. Big deal, right? Well, when you throw it, the LEDs spell COMPAQ in a grand marquee!!!!!! Amazing!

uhhh, 1 dollar, maybe 2?

 

[apdrvya]

if you say so, we need video proof

that's awesome and ridiculous. compaq must have stoners working in their marketing department.

I was thinking about that -- could produce some real trippy results. You have the blinkies blinking at one rate, and the disc spinning at another rate, and then the film at a 3rd framerate. Wow. Dude.

looking at the wear on that thing I assume someone was using it for DG?

I don't remember if I got it new or used. Definitely looks like it's been skipped on some pavement a few million times. It wasn't warped until I jammed it into a box with my other frisbees for a few years.

 

[agent_peebody]

it probably doesn't fly too great, and took a bunch of tree dings and concrete skips

That birdie has no thumbtrac does it?

Stingray- I have seen them for stupid prices, I got a mint pink one for a less than stupid price. I think I paid $15 which is probably a bit high for ancient dx but others have sold for $50+

 

[grodney]

Correct. I have 4 of them, but only 1 with the Houck ink. Got all 4 of them from him YEARS ago to use in Overalls (for accuracy, I think).

My first discs - are they worth anything???

Bought these off of ebay probably in about 2002/2003 area and used these to play for years and years so they have significant use/wear. I don't think they're worth anything but i've been curious so i figured i'd just throw em up here and see what everyone thought.

I'm interested in their value in their worn state and if the were in pristine condition.

Yellow - Leopard - 171g -Worlds Biggest DG Weekend 2000 stamp
Blue - Cobra - 171g -WBDGW 1999 Stamp
Red - Whippet - 169g - 1999 PDGA National Doubles Championships

 

[apdrvya]

About three-four bucks each, unless you find someone who wants those specific stamps.

OMG! Is that a red DX whippet with the Nat Dubs stamp? That disc has got to be worth like $80.

 

[howardb]

^^Hahahahahaha! more like a Buck tre fitty!!!

at least

 

[Frank Delicious]

I just checked around and I would like to up my estimate to $125 for that red DX whippet (gently used).

Wow! look at all these old DX discs coming out of the woodwork and totally being worth like a C note a piece. I wish I could find DX discs in molds nobody throws any more. You guys have all the luck.
