I know for a fact that people are bidding that up for laughs. The last real bid looks to be about 5k which is closer to what I think it is worth. Though it would not shock me to see it reach 10k. This is pretty much the holy grail of gear collecting right now. This is also the first one sold on the open market. The first Crye CPC in aor1 sold for 5k as well.

Here I thought JD just had his bid in on it...

It looks like he actually cleared out the fake bids and it is back down to a "reasonable" 5300. It was 29k when I went to sleep.

I believe the seller is on the DevTSix forum. If I am correct, he has three of those.

Yes. He is a well known French collector. He has had absurd amounts of cool shit over the last 5+ years.

So, I know this isn't exactly the right place to ask this, but since we're talking about collectors... What's the deal with / who is LORD_SEX? He sort of vanished from the airsoft scene a few years ago, but when he was consistently posting he had a massive, and high-end collection of gear and equipment. see below: Link to the original collection of pictures: www.gearwhore.org/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1295818299

Rich Spanish dude. He vanished when he deployed to Afghanistan. He seems to have gotten out of collecting SEAL shit when AOR1/2 came around. Wouldn't surprise me if he stopped because he no longer had a contact. He still posts occasionally and infrequently lists stuff on ebay.
A lot of the big collectors from that era seem to post a lot less after the Wannabe forums died.

I talk to him a lot on DevTsix. He definitely buys and sells gear, but will go to an airsoft event here and there. There are pics of him at some of the events.

Alright, so what are the best/most active geardo forums to check out?
I'm on Gear Whore, and I recall Wannabe, and seen DevTsix (which I thought for some reason was a team forum), but what other geardo forums do I need to check out?
Mostly I'm looking for solid discussion as well as a place where people are buying and selling gear. Doesn't necessarily have to be airsoft related.
*We can take this to PMs if this is skewing the thread.

Theres a conspiracy out there that Knife, Lord Sex, and many other gear hoarders own the market for high end gear and are price fixers HAHA!!! ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

I second that. I'm glad to see that people are becoming more and more into real gear. Gearsoc has tons of active posters and all sorts of great info on pretty much everything gear related. Arnies also has some decent picture threads. And also, from the pics he's posted I bet Knife could replicate those pics from LORD_SEX but in aor1 and 2.

Try the Lightfighter forums, but just lurk. They dislike airsoft quite a bit over there. I don't think there is a better source for actual discussion about gear by guys who have BTDT than over there.
Wannabe had some great info on it, if not a bit elitist. There was info over there that couldn't really be found anywhere else.
The market has gone to shit on that older black buckle MLCS stuff. I was selling black buckle canteens for 11 dollars. It is pretty much all in the AOR1/2 market now, which has shot down these last couple months as well... Wish I had that much AOR stuff, but sadly I don't.
