Looking to sell my 1990s guns - any value?

No idea about the guns, but the JT mask might fetch decent dollar. Huge collector market for them. Those look to be thin frames, which were only made for a few years and looks like that’s an uncommon strap. Worth looking into.

Cats are neat but not worth a ton. Not positive on value but under 100. Is that a Hammer? My guess is also under 100 but above is correct that mask is probably where your $$ will come from. Also if you have anything made by Sandana it brings $$ as well

[Macdave06]

Pretty much agree with these two. Hammers are worth more with the aluminum vs plastic frames. Those JT racing straps were pricey for a bit but I think they've kind of fallen off. Either way the spectra is probably worth at least 100 in its own.

FYI Hammers seem to be popular with the DIY community to throw in a rifle stock or mod to whatever they are trying to build. I know I saw a WTB for a hammer, not sure if it was here, or that PN place.

That green racing strap may be worth a decent amount as long as it’s in good condition. (Strap on the old proshield)

Thundercaaaat! I found one locally for about $70 NIB, only reason I hadn't purchased it was I found a mag.\

Edit - Not NIB, but pretty close

Proshields are not all that hot in the collectors' market (thankfully, as I prefer to actually wear them), but that green woven racing strap may fetch a good amount.

Honestly, it might be worth it if you wanted to continue playing just to get the cat back in working order. I'd love to see one on the field again.

ive seen the hammer posted for $110 (?) on ebay last year iirc

That is usually for the Hammer 7 which is magfed, the Kingman Hammer is also a normal pump and comes in a few varieties. I wouldn't put it past the DIY crowd to modify a normal pump though.

Thanks everyone for the replies. I would have gotten back to you all sooner but assumed I would receive notifications of replies to the post.

I would have never thought that the mask would be the most valuable item in the lot. I am going to try to do a little research and see what is out there - I have no idea what the model is and can’t find anything labeling it either.

I would love to get back into it but all my local fields and shops have shut down.

[Headshotted]

Lame. That's sad to hear. Wya man, maybe there is one in the adjacent area?

It is a Spectra mask, which is now called a Proshield. When it was introduced in the 90s, it was the first and only mask to use the Spectra lens. Once JT introduced other masks that also used the Spectra lens, it needed a new name to distinguish it. Hence the Proshield name, which nicely reflects the fact that it is the same shape as the original Proflex but is made entirely of rigid plastic. The currently-sold version of the Proshield has vertical vents and I believe a one-piece design instead of separate face shield and ears. The style you have, the classic design with horizontal vents, is often referred to as the "OG Proshield," usually by people who don't remember it being the Spectra 20+ years ago. Collectors and traders also sometimes just call them shields for short. This is my favorite mask design. I have three of them, including my first one from circa 1998, and rotate through at least two each day that I play.

On eBay, which is always a bit inflated, you might see complete NOS unused Proshields listed for $120+. Not sure if they actually sell for that, though. For used but good condition, I've seen eBay listings for just the facemask without goggle frame for around $60-70. On the Facebook groups, where the real market is these days, the lower mask alone might go for $30-40, the ears anywhere from $15-30, and the visor usually about $15-20. Then there's the goggle frame. You've got the OG thin frames, which some collectors value more for certain builds. Depending on the condition of the foam, the frames may be worth anywhere from $30-70, I would guess. I'm a little fuzzy on frame values since they depend on what a buyer is looking for (and I haven't paid much attention because I don't care that much about frame styles). Some people want the chunkier frames with the bent JT logo at the top center ("banana" frames), others want thin, some a particular about whether the frames were made during the KEE years or GI Sportz years, etc. The JT collectors market is kind of insane, really. If you want to dive into it, join the "JT ProFlex BST" group on Facebook.

Oh, and I almost left out the weirdest bit: straps. Good lord, straps. I just checked the FB group and prices seem to have cooled off a bit compared to about 6 months ago when they were really nuts, but straps are still all over the place. That dark green with the white background JT logo you have is an older, out of production design. Assuming the elastic isn't shot, it might be worth something. Whether that's $40 or $140, I cannot say. Straps are nuts. Only thing weirder are the ProFlexes with the clear skirts. Those go for crazy stupid money.
