Trying to sell the retro helmets from last week for $2,299.99. Just got the email so have no link to post, and NSIAP. I just honestly can't believe someone would snag one of these at that price to remember the time we barely held off ULM after 3 straight blowout losses...

Well the University is trying to sell them for $2328 or something like that. So AO is getting you a deal.

They really are that expensive to make.

If it was worn by Speedy, then I'd at least consider it, otherwise, no fn way I'd part with $200 for one.

These aren't even game worn.

The helmet is more than $200 by itself. Then there is all the extra stuff they do to it.

They are not that expensive to make. No way in hell. AO posted on here that they take 6 hours to make by hand...

Even with a 50% markup the math doesn't work out.

Helmets are a little over $300. So $2000 for paint and labor. Sounds legit

Exorbitant price. Overpricing a novelty item overshadows the worth of having it. Not consistent with AO reputation for selling reasonably-priced gear, IMO.

You honestly expect Aggieland Outfitters to be reasonably priced? Have you ever been there?

They take somewhat like 6 hours to make if I remember correctly. Each is hand painted.

I'm not buying one because I agree, it's ridiculous, but a lot goes into making one.

So the athletic department spent over $170,000 on helmets to be used for one game?

Well no. There is some profit in there and Hydrographics gives them discounts to be mentioned during promotions.

But I bet we spent over $100k unless Hydrographics donated a lot.

My guess is $300 for the base helmet and $300 for the "6 hours of handcrafting"... Whatever that means.

$1800 left for opportunistic athletic department licensing gouging on a sentimental item, and probably a little built in for a reasonable profit for distributors..

If these helmets cost more than $600 ea I'd be shocked.

Then again that's just a guess, just like yours

I talked to someone at AO. They are more than $600 because of the process.

If we paid someone $1000 for each helmet for the process +$300 for the base helmet then we have some seriously dull folks making decisions for us..

I was being generous with $300 for labor

Not sure what we paid, but I don't think there is 1700 in profit on those. Greedy licensing and AO or not.

Maybe Hydrographics did it for almost free knowing so Aggies would spend the 2k. I won't. I'll probably get the mini though.

No way they cost more than the black state of Texas (Miss St) helmets which can be bought for around $500.
$2300 is a joke
