I popped in to a local western store and they have a small collection of custom boots on display--so I ask if they are for sale--first thing they say is they're a weird size--like an 11B--just my size haha. So I tried them all on, and most were too tight in the toes, but 2 pair of Rocketbusters fit. The owner said he'd consider selling them so he's thinking about it. I'd say they are older maybe from the first generation or a little newer--perhaps 10-15 years old (but in excellent condition) I seem to recall the inlaid Rocketbusters selling new for a few hundred back in those days--but now they are in the $1400-$2000 range for something similar. So after that long story--any idea what a used pair might be worth? I searched Ebay and there are a lot of high asking prices with unsold results. Many of the completed listings are for newer mfg, and in common sizes, which would attract more biddrs. I just want to be prepared in case he throws a price at me (I'm sure he's researching on his end too. I have some numbers in mind but would love to hear opinions from others more experienced in the game than I.
Thanks!
eBay prices on Rocketbuster are all over the place so it's hard to use them as a pricing guide. I may be wrong but I don't think Rocketbuster does business any more through retail outlets. If that's the case, I bet the owner has had those boots for some time and any return would be in his favor. I can't give you a number but I would start low. As Michael said, at that size, he'll have a hard time moving them.
