NEW reverse "Xvalve" and standard "Xvalve" valves discussion

[SSP REAPER]

Dave @ AGD and I recently got to talking about how people are always looking for "Xvalve" and reverse "Xvalve" valves. After much discussion we decided that maybe it is time to bring back a small limited number (9 or 10) which would reflect how ever many reverse x valve blanks they have on hand. My question is this and will be put to a 30 day poll...

If they were brand new and genuine AGD reverse "Xvalve" valves, would you buy one?
While considering this, what if there were also a small run of say 20 standard "Xvalve" valves.

Interested? Let's find out so I can report back to Dave

To keep from confusion, I am speaking about the lasering on the side of the valve. Older X valves were lasered with the full Xvalve spelled out instead of the newer style X.

Yes and yes... and it would be even cooler, if they could do some nice colours as well?

Sterling, you know that I LOVE reverse valves, but I'd rather see the work (time/money) that would go into a new run be spent on anodizing (Red, Blue, Silver - minimum). As much as I like reverse valves, they are out there and if I had to pick one I'd go for colors. That said... Both? Please? We'd buy them!

[tbaggin]

yes, and agreed with colors

[koleah]

Whats the price point going to be? Will it be $300 for a new Xvalve (standard or reverse)? Because prices on the used ones have been holding pretty steady at 200, although dropping recently a little bit.

I find it hard to believe that people would drop the extra 100-120 for the fact that its "new" and has an AGD warranty.

[DeuceSV]

I'd buy a reverse for sure, but I'd love to have a color option. When you make the list, put my name on it. Thanks.

[IrishRedneck86]

yeah I would def love at least one of each but again I'm with most on here the biggest thing that would get me to shell out cash faster would be a color option

With new X-valves at MSRP $250, used ones have been hovering between $175 and $200. Used "reverse" valves have been selling regularly for $250 (which both Sterling and I can attest to) and colors have been $275-$325... These prices reflect rarity and demand, not original MSRPs.

I'd hope that AGD would start doing valves in all the colors of the ULE bodies again, or at least the popular ones, and that they wouldn't bump the price up beyond $300 (the old standard X-Valve price). The fact that the used ones are worth as much as they are now is a testament only to the fact that relatively few were made; asking that much for a full production model wouldn't be right.

I'd definitely be interested in a new reverse valve, blue?

[SSP REAPER]

I will let this thread gather interest for a week or two and then talk to Dave again. Maybe I can convince him to do a color run on both option. Keep the opinions coming, I love to see all of the fancy we share for AGD products

I would have more interest in colored valves. I could care less whether is said "X", "X Valve" or "flying Monkeys". I truly don't see the obsession with what's marked on the side except for people wanting to collect one of each. If that's the case, seems more fair to leave what's out there out there or you diminish the rareness. I have seen people beating each other over the head trying to snatch up beat up "Emax" valves, I just don't get it. Several colored valves have some up recently, but are pretty scratched up. Less and less nice minty ones out there.. at least that are coming up for sale.

I also don't care which side the input is on.

Feeling grumpy today, sorry if I am coming off as negative. Must be the weather.

[SockMonkey]

yeah, I dont really care what it says either. But "Flying Monkeys" sounds like a cool idea!!!!

Maybe "SockMonkey"

Dust Black Reverse

Were reverse Xvalves made in any other color than the satin black ?
I've nevet seen one.
I'd like a dust black reverse X.

[MAGpie]

Want blue! Want blue!
Hear the magpie he sing.

[Ratt]

I would like a reverse X Valve, but I, too, would be more interested in a new colored valve. ESPECIALLY if I could get one in blue, and even more so if I could get one in 'Venomous Red'.
