"Value" of promo tokens

By surly88, in X-Wing

So far I've collected quite a few tokens and other promos, so I'm considering trading a few of them for stuff I'd like to have.

tbh though I find it really difficult to value them properly. Prices on ebay are sometimes super low, sometimes ridiculusly high.

For example I got the offer to trade 10 of my own Summer Kit 2015 Evade Tokens

for 5 of their older version from 2014 Regionals. Would this be a good trade or a rip of for me?

Thanks for helping, cheers

unfortunately in the end it just comes down to if you think its a good deal.

as you said, I've seen some things nicely priced, others are total overpriced.

the older kit stuff is much harder to get now, so I guess you could say they are more valuable.

so if you've got enough 2015 evade tokens, swap them for a few eh.

There is an entire thread dedicated to trading I. This forum. I would look there for the items you want.

I think TC's question is more about determining value rather than a list of availability.

As with almost all promos, it's arbitrary. Rarity obviously plays a factor, and as with anything collectible, older things will usually go up in value.

For your question, consider how many Evade tokens you could ever possibly use in a list and whether you like the most recent Evade or the regional Evade aesthetic better. Even then, I'm not sure trading at a 2:1 ratio is fair.

For me, in the end, it is just a piece of plastic, and the game already comes with cardboard, wich works just the same.

The only thing i can say: if there are different ones, then the ones you like the most are worth most to you :)

They worth 'bout tree fiddy

If I'd trade them, I'd trade them 1:1, regardless of which one are the older ones. It's just a matter of which ones you'd prefer...!

The thing is though, so far I found nobody who would have traded their old stuff for the newer one. I'm sure these people exist, but so far I haven't seen any.

General rule of thumb: The higher level tournament the stuff is coming from the rarer and more valuable it is. Age also plays a certain factor. In the end it comes down to how much better you like the old tokens and if they are worth it not to be able to equip an entire TIE swarm with them anymore.

It's a testament to the brilliance of that show, that this is still a thing we all think, when it was a joke that ran in one episode back in 1999.
