SO...

Being that everyone here is saying $750 for the pair (including shipping) is too much, what IS the value of these SUPER COMMON globes?

Who here has some in similar condition that would be willing to sell two at the same price I'm offering them at?

Can't see how $750 shipping included is too much for two great original pieces of standard oil history!?!?

i dont think $750 is unreasonable... but considering you can get one complete with good paint for $400-500... it makes those in that condition a hard sell. Have to find someone willing to do the work that it takes to repaint.

I think in that condition, with that much paint wear... they are more around a $275-300 each value. But thats also just my opinion.

Can you provide completed eBay listing #s and or somewhere else that I can find these readily available complete with good paint globes for $400-$500?

not that this is necessary... but maybe it will silence your need to justify yourself.

It is clear that $750 for the pair is a very fair price.

I just get a kick out of the few members here that insist on pushing back and trash talking anything for sale that is not theirs or one of their cronies...

Are you serious Brice was kind enough to answer your ridiculous question with proof that better globes sell at a regular price range and yours aren't near that condition so they would sell for less.

I'd only want to pay 175-225 for one of these in your condition. There's no way I'd ever want to pay 750 for two bad condition globes when I know I can pay 800-1000 for two great condition ones.

I'm sure this will be gone in an hour or so that's ok.


Lock it up.

I removed a post that was clearly against the guidelines. Name calling is not allowed, Period. Simple English folks... I can say it in Spanish if you would understand that more clearly.

FWIW, you want a red crown in similar condition to yours for less money? Send me a PM...

...because - of all of Standard's crowns - these are, by far, the most common...and the paint is in terrible condition...

...'great original pieces of standard oil history' is mere puffery, and could easily be applied to maps and match covers as well...might work at a general auction, but it won't cut any ice on a site like Oldgas...

...will someone eventually pay you $750 for two globes that look like this? Possibly - but likely not on a forum such as this one, where better quality items are often available for less money...you will likely have better luck offering these at the local flea market (or farm auction), minus your shipping cost, of course...there you will have a bigger pool of beginner 'collectors', who would be too excited about merely finding an original gas globe, to consider things like rarity and condition...

Gulfiend said it best right there. One more thing you blame oldgas but you keep listing it in eBay and they haven't sold either so that should tell you something.
