a price guide is impossible
it changes too much if prices were posted in this thread when it was made, they would be far too high by todays standards and would have to be updated. its easier to say that the less of an item were made, the more it'll cost and the cooler an item looks, the more expensive it'll be that goes with all unkle/mowax stuff.
the cool shit, costs.
although right now, most of it is cheap as hell.

the cool shit does cost but you never know when some gems will pop up, eg rock on etched, I have nearly paid stupid money for this so many time but ended up getting it for less than £20 when pabs shitted a warehouse full of mo wax on the bay! just be careful what you pay for as its not worth that much anymore and also buy out of season!

The only tip you need is to buy everything RomeoVoyd sells on eGay.

Yes, ALL of the prices have been lowered considerably due to two factors: (1) the MW warehouse unload on ebay over the past year (2) the majority of people have lost interest, and have decided to sell off their personal copies The only people interested in MW are probably on this board anyway, so the market is pretty small compared to what it used to be. MoG is right, the only items that command any loot these days are the serious heavy stuff, and that stuff usually doesn't even make it to ebay anyway. I have a feeling that its all dried up to be quite honest. ...but every now and then something pops up.

once lavelle/pabs have stopped flooding the market, prices might pick up again. I need lavelle to do something amazing with his surrender label that makes the main stream take notice and spark interest in his previous label.

not sure about others but I find a good way to judge if you are getting ripped off i.e. paying over £100 for silly thing:) is to a - don't buy the first you see on ebay and see what it goes for. b - ask others what they paid. Some may be reluctant to provide this info "you paid how much for the original of Androids!!! " c - check discogs marketplace alternatively....like i do sometimes, do your shopping drunk then it does not matter

"don't buy the first you see on ebay and see what it goes for"
This doesn't apply if it's a one-off or very rare item. Like some of the things I have. And Mog has more of. Shopping drunk I do definitely agree with and encourage.

You somehow stumble on ebay auctions with very less than the prices named here. It's a sort of hit and run, sometimes you win sometimes you loose. Important is, just as always on ebay, make a limit before and never go higher than 110% of you limit. Forget others, it's only how much it is worth TO YOU.
And if it's only 50 ct above your bid, don't feel sorry. The winner def not typed in newbies limit plus 50 ct, but he shot the item with 50 bucks above limit hoping noone does it the way he does! If you loose, it's not because of the 50 ct.
