Are there any skates that have appreciated in value over time?

I recall amall had a pair of the jeff stockwell razors that sold for over $300, maybe $400...

But I am trying to think of hardware in general that has retained its value.

Fiziks
Cozmos

Maybe first pro models?

Fiziks and remedyz

I actually want to say that none have appreciated. Demand has probably gone up, but rollerbladers are cheap and there isn't a collective desire to pay more for something now than when it came out X amount of years ago. Also the fact that 90% of the transactions take place on ebay where the seller doesn't know what they have and you can get it for a 1/10 of the price.

There's some things I'll pay well over market for, but probably not more than original retail.

If someone had brand new OG remz or un-skated Fiziks, someone, somewhere would buy them for above retail. Possibly some old Thrones with 50/50s if they were brand new.

Other than that, I don't think so.

if I could find some oxygen argon 1.1s, I'd pay quite a bit for them. Nostalgia will do that to you.

and I would pay even mofe for the tasha hodgson pro ones, thr whotish blueish ones.

Some have retained value more than others. ST9's were $300 brand new, even mint, no one will pay that. Pro model Thrones were round $270 and up. O.G Remedy skates were $300 new, not many are left but were hand made and the mold is forever lost. I wouldn't base my retirement on that kind of investment but could gain value in the future.
