I have some extra gear I am selling. I realize I don't know how much R.P.s are worth. Can anyone shed some light for me?

Recent ebay sales

Asking prices on Ebay are crazy, one guy is asking 20 bucks for one

Pat,

on some really sketchy climbs they were, literally, worth your life.

I know that's not the answer you were looking for. Depending on how thrashed they are I would say something in the neighborhood of $10-$20 each. Roland is no longer with us, but I am not sure if they have any collector value. Maybe Marty can chime in here.

I hope you are doing better with your physical issues!

if they're in good condition I'd take 'em on the ST discount program ;-)

I recall something in the ballpark 10 apiece when I bought some good condition second hand HB offset microbrass

hanging my grown-ass self offa those suckers today I now feel them to be worth something closer to 20 a pop. esp for the OG RPs

Roland Pollock was great innovator. RPs were the first micronuts and the gold standard. I believe he was the first to silver-solder cable into bronze nuts.

RPs should be very collectible, but that is a strange world. An early Apple computer is worth a fortune, but an early IBM PC is not.
