That's a good down payment for a house in a countryside in America I believe? Are the buyers aware that anyone like Matt or Aaron can make something similar for fraction of the price? Or they want the Tetting stamp? I wonder what will my 1962 original IronMan gripper made by Warren Tetting will fetch me. Or my silver crushes. Or the first #4 (I believe in 1994?) which was heavy and made out of stainless steel. Or or or. Not that I will sell them. Just wondering. Well, seems like a good time to sell but the future will likely bring even higher prices as scarcity increases and demand goes up. Perhaps you can sell the ones you aren't super attached to on the Gripboard, which would distribute some of the gear amongst the community, you make some dough and it's a win-win for everyone. Possibly check with Matt first, however, as he knows probably more than anyone about rarity and possibly assigning values to each piece. I personally would keep them in a safe or locked up if you've got that much sitting around hehe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if they were looking to train negative or something, heck ask Matt or Aaron or anyone to produce something similar. Dude if that happened then $crew that guy. Who the heck will think like that except for the dirt?! Are you the new owner of the original MM cert grippers (not the backup grippers)? I wish! A tiny trailer next to my brothers is for sale $300,000 and it’s tear down! If it was livable I’d buy it. I don’t see these grippers holding a value like this for reasons you stated. But they will always fetch a pretty penny and will go up in value. But I don’t see them maintaining an inflated price. Props to the sellers though the mash monsters on the other hand. With their history those will always be worth something I think. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jared P Posted May 8 Share Posted May 8 eBay auctions fetch higher prices, because people are trying to outbid one another, and consequently end up spending more than they would likely spend in a fixed price or offer setting. Had this same Tetting World Class been listed on the GripBoard marketplace, it would have probably sold for $300-500, I'd imagine. The more time that passes and the more new gripper enthusiasts emerge, the demand will continue to go up. Pretty much every person who gets into grippers wants at least one Tetting and GHP in their collection. Those of us who already own these don't see why people would spend so much, when a lot of people only paid $30 initially - but that opportunity no longer exists. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll give you $100 for all of them, since they aren't worth these crazy prices. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
