How much has emag prices dropped?

[Magmerc]

Out of curiosity, how much have emag and ptp micro emag prices dropped lately, and from what?

[maniacmechanic]

The price on lowers has stayed stable

[BigEvil]

Depends on the what flavor you are talking about.

[zondo]

I think prices have pretty much remained stable. $500-$1000 depending on options (body/rail/milling, software, etc.)

Yeah, people are asking way too much for Micro Emags these days, and they're not selling for such exorbitant prices... $500+ should be reserved for 100% functional 100% complete markers with original PK Selective sponge/splash anodizing and not much wear. Ultra Nickel, black, beat up green and "re-anno'ed acidwash" aren't worth $600+ and won't sell for that money.

Every $600 Micro E I've seen has either been marked down again and again and again until it sells for near half that much, or gets sold for full price and put up for sale at a $50 loss almost immediately by the new owner. I love'em, I collect and play with'em, but you can't fool yourself about what you've got... Originality or upgraded-ness (not a word) make up the value, as do rare anodizing schemes.

Emags are fairly cheap these days compared to 2-3 years ago, but that goes along with all pb stuff. It is defiantly a buyers market. If you are paying 350 for emag lowers today you are overpaying.

With what has happened to people fun money has contributed to the decrease in value (well selling price) it will eventually come back. But who knows when that will happen.

[RogueFactor]

Generally 20-30%, in some cases more.

[fierymartel]

Yeah, just looked through archive over at the nation. Only way you are going to off load one (micro Emag)for say $600 is if it is all original and someone is looking for a collection piece. I want one, but am having troubles coming to grips with paying more than $500 for one. Not looking to ruin an original, but want to install a clamping feedneck and probably custom annoed. Xvalved would be nice too.

you know that you cannot easily change the feedneck. They are press fit in.

[Magmerc]

Hm. Thank you guys for all the info, I appreciate it, especially you Frizzle Fry since Im trying to figure out what to price my micro e for.

And mann, couldn't you ego feedneck mod a press fit micro body?

[factoid]

I've noticed the price going down lately. A few months ago I would see lowers posted for 400-450 and now it's 350 on down.

Much more realistic in my opinion considering many still have original battery packs which are all just about shot by now. And many need new solenoids as well.

[MANN]

possibly. I know people mod ccm feednecks for xmag breeches so I am sure it is possible. I would bet that it is not very easy.

[fierymartel]

ego, angel, there's an air smith online that does it. many options. I just cant see removing the feed neck from a pristine original piece. toying with the thought of grabbing a 2k9 body.

I don't think that the prices of Emags are dropping due to lack of interest. Everything is down. I sold two Outkasts for $250 each about two years ago. This year I had one listed for $150 for months and all I got was offers around $100. I couldn't even sell a NIB Mini for $220 shipped.
