NIB OG GTEK black marker,.blue case.

[Whirr]

Does a new in box gtek carry any premium to a collector?

I did crack the blue lock tight on the grip screws to check the battery for corrosion, there was none and the battery still had charge.

Also pulled the bolt out and the visible o-rings looked fine, I did not dismantle the bolt.

Person I got it from said when they played paintball they saved up for it, bought it and then never used it and just found it cleaning out a closet.

Typically 200- 300 for those. I don’t think the nib adds too much (30-60) but should help it move

[JohnB]

Maybe $250-350 after looking at eBay. +30-60 for the nib, on this site maybe the lower half to move it

[Whirr]

250-300 was my assumption based on condition. Just curious if NIB mattered. Probably not, probably best played with.

I don't think there's much market for NIB modern markers in the same sense as something really old NIB. Better off to see it on the field if you ask me, but anyway you should get a little more because of the condition - I think anywhere from $300-350 would be fair asking and $400 on the high end

I mean, if you consider brand new Etha 3s are going for $550, you'd need to find a very specific kind of customer for the Gtek you're offering. Not saying they aren't out there, but there probably won't be a ton.

1) They need to like the ergos of the Gtek vs the Etha 3. I think this not too hard to find. I honestly preferred the Gtek more myself
2) They need to see the value in the macro line. To me, the macro version feels a little simpler to maintain, but most folks don't like macro
3) They want new. PE designs these to sit for a long time, not sure they envisioned this long but it should be good to go out of the bag... I'd maybe remove the battery myself.

Good luck. $350 to $300 is where I'd want to be.

I recently bought one with the FR barrel back and the OLED board for $225. That being said, I generally see them in the $250-$300 range.

I dont think the NIB carrys much weight right now. Maybe in 20 more years or so it would pull a little more money, but its just a gtek.

[ford]

Yea, you're going to need to wait for the kiddies who got started with these to grow up, get money and want this for the nostalgia. That said, selling it between 200-350 bucks today and investing that money in something like VT over the same time horizon would likely bring a better return =P

Like others have said, you have a few things working against a high value. NIB is cool, but way cooler for markers from the olden days. Everyone is scared of macro and base level macro-less markers are fairly easy to come by these days.

That said, Gteks are solid markers and have the added option of a slider mech frame, which I personally love. I've had 3 Gteks through the years and have paid anywhere from $200-$300 depending on color and condition. For context my current red ano Gmek was in LNIB condition and I got it with the original box and materials for $300 shipped around 2 years ago. My first Gtek I bought well-used for $200 shipped maybe 4 years ago.

Great markers, but def. more of a workhorse than a collectors item.
