Resale value is a topic that is generally avoided here at O-Review. We are much more inclined to offer opinions on authenticity, accuracy, desirability, history and the like; topics that would normally be dicussed among seasoned collectors. Unfortunately, estimating or quoting resale value of an item has a bad history. It can cause conflict and resentment, and suggests an atmosphere of self-interest. As O-Review is based on participation and contribution, this topic is avoided for the sake of promoting a positive collecting environment.

In the spirit of giving advice, I can offer what is ofen said around here ... that something is only worth what someone is willing to pay for it. To that end may I suggest that, if you have access to Ebay, do a search for the Romeo and save that search to your "followed searches" list and check out the listings over a certain period; a week, a month, I recommend a whole season (like, over a whole summer) and see what items become available during that period and what the items actually sell for and in what condition. This will give you a good idea for an estimated resale value of your item.

But in order to do so, you would also need to consider condition (including original parts, box, papers, etc) and how closely they match with the original release SKU to gague the desirability. Even then, it is still up to you and the seller to negotiate an actual price. Keep in mind also that what one Romeo sells for today will be different tomorrow, and so forth.

If you still are looking for some direct advice, there is one forum that does specifically deal with the estimsted value of an Oakley item. I caution you, though. Any estimate given over any online forum should never be taken as truth. It would be at best entirely subjective, highly expendable, totally questionable, and completely inadmissible in the court of auction.

I wish you the very best luck in your sale. Unfortunately I don't think anyone here will be able to answer your question as accurately as you would like.

Hi steve,

thanks for the advise and reply.

i did research on ebay and other site, but i realise the price range is too big.
so i only came out of this topic.
On ebay, the price maybe will go up to 1000USD, and got some people offer my the lower price is 300USD.
i also try to sell it on ebay, but dunno, maybe i'm new to ebay, ebay are not allow me to sell it.

anyhow, thanks for the advise and reply!
