I can only talk about these, so the corrections are made in bold in the quote above.



Oh, I forgot to reply : th!nk, the current list obviously only has the official products, but like I did with the HMS Random Boosters, of course the other Random Boosters need to get listed and their different possibilities separately too. I am even going to try adding some Metal Fight Beyblade recolours there.

And OK, I look forward to what 3-Dog will post here.

Kai-V would you like me to post my list (Edited by you) onto BeyWiki now or wait a little?

It is really not about : "This item isn't useful at all so it should cost ten bucks." If you could never find one at x price because it is not reasonable considering the rarity, then that x price is not good.


Yes Thunder Dome, I think you can go ahead.

Takara and Sonokong Dranzer MS could be found for the prices Wombat suggested up until very recently, iirc. I also don't feel it is "worth" any more than that, fwiw.

Yes but while the list is supposed to give good prices they also should be realistic. The sonokong ones don't sell for that price anymore and you'll never find a NIB Takara/Hasbro one for that price. You also base your opinions too much on how the beyblade performs rather than rarity and demand.

Quote:BB-40 Dark Bull: $8 (Not to sure if this should be a little higher like $10)
BB-47 Earth Aquila: $10
BB-48 Flame Libra: $8
BB-55 Dark Cancer: $8
BB-60 Random Booster 4 Mirage Virgo: $12 (I'm not to sure about this one.)
BB-67 Metal Face Gun Metallic: $6

Suggestions? Especially about Random Booster 4.

Here's just a few I did, I'll be doing many early releases later.

Booster Flame Saggittario C145S $12
Booster Dark Bull H145SD $10
Starter Lightning L Drago 100HF $13

Again, I'll do many more later, I'll just edit this post. It'll be better to post so people will see

Don't see why Flame Sag is so much. I mean it's a booster whereas other beys that have more useful parts that are starters are less...

I say reduce RBV4 to $10, you can buy NIB ones for about that much on eBay and someone is selling the full set for like $25. Dark Bull should be $9 or $10, and Cancer should maybe be $7-10 because they go for as low as $4 but some people are intent on selling them for $15.

EDIT: & Ultra: Agreed. Sagittario should be like $10 if not $8.

After looking over some shops again, I saw none less than $10. Most went from $11-$17. I myself am confused. :\

The prices shouldn't shipping but even then the prices still go for around $10 for reason. Guess that's a fine price then.

Same here ...

Quote:A-96 Metal Trigger (Gold): $15 (not sure about this, but there is one on eBay fr about $15 ...)
MA-02 HMS Bey Double Shooter:
MA-03 BeyStadium Tornado Balance Type:
MA-11 Starter Advance Guardian: $35
MA-12 Starter Advance Striker: $55
MA-14 Starter Advance Eterner: $45
MA-15 Booster Phantom Fox MS: $55
MA-16 Booster Dark Leopard MS: $60
MA-17 BeyStadium Tornado Balance Type S: $50
MA-18 Starter Magical Ape MS: $60

I know you're trying to help but really where are you getting these prices from? Advance Guardian for $50 excluding shipping? That's a rediculous price. I can find one for less than half that.

OK, sorry about that one. I'll fix that.

Here's some others.

Booster Flame Libra T125ES: $13 (It's weird just like the case of Flame Saggitario.)
Booster Storm Capricorne M145Q: $6
Booster Rock Escolpio D125JB: $6

I can't seem to find Earth Aquila hardly. The only one I found was $30 which is a bit excessive.

Can I put the six I have up? I still need some criticism for both the flames.

The only ones that go under are dimsum's and his prices are very low so i'm not sure what to do. There's no middle ground.

Well, his special clearance prices obviously do not count, but his prices are usually reasonable because they are slightly above the initial retail price. The next cheapest prices are usually just one or two dollars above the exclusive WBO costs anyway.

Here's my price list, hopefully the link works. Let me know if it doesn't:

If it doesn't work, Uwik says it can be viewed fine after downloading it so you might wanna do that.

Edit: I'm gonna go with $75 for the Dragoon V2, actually, sorry th!nk (we had an extensive debate on this issue). Dranzer MS will be raised from $15 to $20, but no more.

Don't forget that this price list tells us what these beyblades are worth, not how much they're selling for. Most Dragoon V2s on eBay are going for $150, it doesn't mean they're worth that much. It means sellers are making a killer profit because they bought it for a lot less.

Can I put my six up? If so, I'll do it tommorow.

Hopefully we'll be able to impose the prices onto other sellers (especially on eBay) since we make up a large portion of the international Beyblade community that actively buys beyblades online, especially older generations.

This would make buying a hell of a lot easier.

Would you mind explaining a bit further to the members your reasoning behind those beyblades' worth? Are the prices based on the supply vs demand? Rarity?

Essentially, please explain briefly why do you think that Dragoon V2 is worth only $75 despite the common market lists it in the $150 range.

Cheers for the list !

Sure. I've been selling a long time in the market and I can tell you guys that most sellers buy their stuff on Y!JA. An important factor in ascertaining prices was to check the Y!JA price and then add a mark up fee on that. This is where the $75 for Dragoon V2 comes from.

Don't be mistaken when you see high prices on eBay. The people selling Dragoon V2 for $150 most likely bought it for a LOT less (remember, these are Asian sellers so they don't have to pay the costs that us sellers in Europe and the US do).

Another reason for the low prices is because, at the end of the day, buyers are the ones who dictate the market. If you decide to buy a Shining God MS for $350, you are setting a price for it. You have set an expectation. Prices are only high because people are buying them. Buyers with little knowledge on market value increase the prices of beys by bidding ludicrous amounts on them. This leads to a knock on effect; sellers are aware of the potential to make abnormal profit and so they are more likely to bid higher on Y!JA, which is the source of beyblades for us sellers.

This means that lots which would go for 20, 000 yen are now going for 50, 000 yen. The buyer had to pay more for the lot, so he/she is going to increase the price at which they sell because they have more to cover up for. To fix the market, you're gonna have to hold your horses and let the sellers sell at a loss. This is the only way they'll learn and the only way that prices on Y!JA go down. As buyers pay less for beyblades, sellers will bid less on Y!JA and this will make beyblades cheap again.

Right now, there are too many buyers showing little patience. Dragoon G was available for around $10, slightly less, just three months ago (and I'm talking Takara). Now the market is being flooded with ones for $50.

In summary: if you pay more for a beyblade than the price list I have posted (by more than $10-20), you are directly responsible for price inflation. Congrats.

OK, cool. Hopefully, with a properly managed list, sellers and buyers alike can refer to it for some basic estimates. Deflating prices is not easy, but since it's a hobby that we all love, it's definitely better for all of us in the long run. Thank you for the explanation.

Um on the note of jumping base you do realize the takara ver only has the bottom right?

Good point, I was thinking of the Hasbro version. That'd probably be worth much less then, I'd say around $10
