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...
I can't believe Aggieland Outfitters is actually...

I wouldn't mind getting the mini helmet

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.

The helmet is more than $200 by itself. Then there is all the extra stuff they do to it.
Is that for all of them?

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.

Whaa?
You honestly expect Aggieland Outfitters to be reasonably priced? Have you ever been there?
You can find the exact same stuff at the warehouse on holleman for 20 bucks cheaper on avg
Cashin out like Malena...
& they price high bc they can.... Lots of Ag memorabilia junkies

Mooches
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.

Can you write it off since it's for charity?

AO cool they gave me free beer once.
They'll have to Joe Bank sale those... Buy one get two at half price.

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

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

You have no idea what you're talking about
Then how much are they smart ass?
More than a tattle tale snitch can afford.

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'm sorry but there is a mom or wife joke in there.
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
