prize of s/h HiCap

Posted by: jpk73 on 26 July 2001

Hi!

Somebody offers me a s/h HiCap, made in 1994. Does anybody know the prize of a brandnew HiCap in 1994?

Thanks, Jun

> what's it matter what it cost new in 1994?

This guy wants a prize which is higher than the 1994-prize - - Is this OK in your opinion?

H-caps today go from 300 UKP (old style, old, un recapped if yer lucky) to about 500 UKP (new style, vgc ,a couple of year old). A middle aged new style recap goes for about 400 UKP. The 1994 price is irrelevant. This is what the market supports. Check www.loot.com for comparisons. I just got a 8 year old, new style, mint, non recapped for 350 UKP. I'm happy.

Regards

Stephen

FWIW my Hicap was bought new in April 1993 (probably just after the price had gone up!).

The receipt says it cost £582.80 (altho' I have to say I did not recall that it cost that much before I checked the receipt - I must have received a bonus)..........so a brand new one at list price would be a bargain!?

I'm saving for a Supercap, so I'd take half current list price for my Hicap.
