Have TGLB prices come down after TGULB release?

[gamma_nyc]

I’m curious what you guys have seen in terms of secondary market for TGLBs. Have they come down after the TGULB?

What have you seen TGLBs with Comp Finish going for?

People are still listing them for $1000+ on eBay, but I haven't seen one sell for anything near that price since a Daryl Dixon version (comp with black and tan g10) went for $1250 last October. I've seen a few TGLBs sell after that in the $500-600 range. I doubt you could still get anything near a thousand bucks for a competition finish TGLB when you could get a comparable TGULB for half that.

I think the forsaken gemini helped bring them down from the 1k mark first.

Yeah, probably that too. Not so much for the BGs and A2 SEs though. Or the P and M versions.

Yeah I was hunting a comp finish TGLB w/ black micarta to replace the one I had and sold years back. Almost pulled the trigger on one for $900 a year ago but didn't, then the TGULB came out. Honestly I might go $700 for one now but even then probably not since the itch has been scratched with the TGULB. Comp TGLB has all but fallen off my radar.

TGULB is the TGLB killer for me, ymmv.

Especially considering both carry the same Busse Guarantee.

I do prefer the aesthetics of the LB's fuller over the ULB's....

Overall, they're both must haves, viva la difference!

Yes, they are definitely cheaper now.

If someone is thinking of buying one, now, this is the perfect time.

 

[JohnTheTexican]

I'm guessing all prior models are going to come down even more now.

They dropped well before the Ultra light. I bought one for a song hoping to make a few clams for the next must have. Only to forget to sell it.

oops now I’m stuck with 2 TGLB and ultra light

There are definitely worse blades to get stuck with.

According to the inflated eBay prices, one would think TGLB’s are actually rising in price.
