i cant find this piece anywhere just others like it, which only raises more questions not answers

That's some pretty cool artwork on there. I'm not sure you're going to find much in the way of price check help here. One of the biggest questions among glassblowers is how to properly price your work, and why an item that is worth X amount in one part of the country is actually worth Y amount in another part. A lot of us can tell you what we would charge for a similar style, but part of what you're paying for there is the non-glass artwork on it and the name, and that's where a huge bit of price variability comes in.

All that being said, you might want to take this over to Tokecity.com or Reddit.com/r/glassheads. They might be able to help you a little bit more.

ive been postinsg this bubb on every site llooking for answers same, have been informed this is one of his early creations, so there must not be many running around and others like this style are priced around the same, i just cant find it anywhere else, and i have it so it makes me think the value will go up?

I'd say if someone thought it was worth $410 and was willing to pay that for it, then it's worth $410. If it wasn't, it wouldn't have sold at that price.

Who knows?

[Aaron Ellis]

Menty666 said it best imo it is worth whatever someone will pay for it. You paid $410. So it is worth $410. Now if you keep it in great shape, keep it clean and promote it correctly you could get more if/when the right person comes along. That's a nice piece. The decal work is sweet I'm not into scientific rigs myself but a whole lot of people are. How well does it recycle?
did it come with a bowl, dome, male to male adapter or anything?

[ELDaleZoro]

I put up pics with bowl, they got deleted, so i put up clean pics, bowl is 14mm black and green as the mouth piece the chug is beautiful and recycles well, creates lots of bubbles, great daily piece. im unsure of what it came with at time of purchase i just got the recycler and the ski mask bowl, ive been to my local headshop and seen ski mask work way less complicated for more money.

So lets just say that a quality handbag can cost between $100 and $200. A quality handbag that says Luis Vuitton can cost between $400 and $2000. Now do you understand what your ski mask is worth?

[Dan Kooper]

450-500 if you have the slide.
ski-mask glass is expensive. I sold a puck for 500 and the 40oz rigs go for 500 all the time.

Yeah, sorry about that man. We don't allow pics of dirty glass on here. I meant to PM you about it, but I did it while doing the morning crap (eww, I know, right?), and was running a little late this morning, so it slipped my mind.

[PyroChixRock]

Oh my

No worries, I sent a note.

I can get you a fake nock off in China town for $20 I bet also.

^^^^^^^Exactly my point Nomad

[Milkman]

The knock offs tend to not have the names directly on them other than that one german company that rhymes with lady of the night, so it might be legit. the importers try to copy designs as ive seen a few different recyclers on various sites that look identical to the ones that Ski mask and Slum gold produce just without the bake on decals applied. I am not implying that they do anything like that, im only saying that with the copies they normally do not produce it to 100% specs as far as the glass goes

[ELDaleZoro]

i still cant find this piece anywhere else than my own possession. so i have that going for me. and yes i have the bowl, i get the point, but on reddit /r/glassheads they told me it wasnt worth that much i just wanted to see if i got my moneys worth, i think i did especially since i cant find this piece anywhere else, someone also commented on how it could be some early work he did?

[PyroChixRock]

I think you got your money's worth. It also could be worth more, especially if you hold onto it for a bit.

[MrMustachio]

Damn those decals are on point. Ski Mask, Slum Gold, and Hitman always have killer decal designs and without blow outs too. Wonder if they produce them themselves or if they go through Decal Craft.
