Kllrb76 Posted December 29, 2014 Posted December 29, 2014 I have recieved two Korean Hamer Slammers for possible trades. Can anyone tell me if this is serious or not. Pant cracking around neck heel. The black one I looked at not bad. But white one worse. Have they lost all value with this or not.Any input would be great thanks.
Studio Custom Posted December 29, 2014 Posted December 29, 2014 Of course they are worth less than stellar examples of the same.
Kllrb76 Posted December 29, 2014 Author Posted December 29, 2014 Well yes but is this a serious or just finish cracking?
Sugartune Posted December 29, 2014 Posted December 29, 2014 Most likely just finish cracking and probably fine, but pics of the areas would go a long way to help us visually assess what's going on. Cheers!
cmatthes Posted December 29, 2014 Posted December 29, 2014 In all honesty, the imports aren't very valuable, so that kind of damage - unless structural - would probably have little dollar impact.
Kllrb76 Posted December 29, 2014 Author Posted December 29, 2014 I posted pic of crack as my profile pic! I couldn't figure how else to do it.
Studio Custom Posted December 30, 2014 Posted December 30, 2014 You host the pictures elsewhere like photobucket and link over.

cmatthes Posted December 30, 2014 Posted December 30, 2014 Click on the Photobucket option that says "IMG", then right click and "Paste" in this thread and voila! Magic picture!
Kllrb76 Posted December 30, 2014 Author Posted December 30, 2014 Thank you cmatthes,Are these worth it for resale?before I saw these cracks I was going to give about $200 each trade value, overall great condition. After seeing the cracks thinking about $150 each. I may refinish the white one upgrade and resell. cracks are not as bad on Black and it plays better.
cmatthes Posted December 30, 2014 Posted December 30, 2014 They typically sell for between $200 to maybe $300 in clean condition. Not sure putting money into them is going to work in your favor of you're looking to resell.
hamerhead Posted December 30, 2014 Posted December 30, 2014 ....And CMatthes is being very generous.If you're going to do it, give no more than $100-$125 for the pair, make the repairs/upgrades, and hope to sell them for $125-$150 each (-$25 w/o case). Otherwise bail. There's really no $$ there, and an import with a repair isn't an easy sell.
cmatthes Posted December 30, 2014 Posted December 30, 2014 Yep. Also, "upgrades" to an import don't add to the resale, just eat into your resale margin.
serial Posted December 30, 2014 Posted December 30, 2014 The crack on the white one looks like it took a hit and coukd be structural-that's not a typical finish crack. And agreed on the pricing-$125-150/pair
Studio Custom Posted December 30, 2014 Posted December 30, 2014 You always lose when you upgrade entry level stuff, whether that be a Hamer or a Honda. I suspect you can get $100 each as they are, low demand and damage = bargain basement.
