Fellini case values

What are Fellini cases actually worth these days? I have been told wildly different things. I have one I want to sell, gorgeous black pebble, JB Ultrapad interior, very classy.

Are they worth $300? Less?

Even though a person could argue that the ultra pad is a better liner, for me it devalues the case considerably.

IMO less.

From what to what?

I do agree that an unchanged original is worth more to a collector.

I tend to agree with Maxx but with a very nice exterior, the case still has appeal. Just not as much to serious collectors.

In fact, az member Tikkitavi is who I would run it by - he has vast experience collecting fellini cases.

Generally I have seen Fellinis in decent condition selling anywhere in the $250-$500 range.

Without an original interior you should expect to get a lower price though because the interior has the tag which is what defines the different eras.

But on the other hand......we have seen Fellini cases touted as the "holy grail" which were Fellini cases that had been dissected and recovered by someone else in a style nothing like Fellini that reportedly sold for $2500-$5000 for the set.

So the answer is probably whatever someone is willing to pay.

Good answer. I have a few Fellini Cases, plain ones, and I try to spend less than $300.
Without the original interior & tag I probably wouldn't be a buyer, but I would think $150 might be possible, but as you said, whatever somebody wants to pay.

I think I would just as soon buy a GTF as an altered Fellini, but again, that is just me.

Personally I wouldn't consider taking less than $300, but it depends on how badly you want to sell it.

To me, it is purely a nod to nostalgia - it is not "factory original' but it is still a Fellini, and
looks to be in excellent shape.

It is in excellent shape, and the interior is brand new never had a cue in it. I came into a couple of opportunities this week that I'd prefer not to miss, so I'm liquidating what I'm not using.
 
there's gonna be someone who wants to carry it with more interest in serviceability and less interest in collectability - you'll prob take a hit for it not being all original, but a minor one, imo

$300ish if ex condition, but imho the liner replacement seriously hurts it. You remove the purist collector buyers from the equation. Even back in the day a non-original liner or missing tag reduced the value of a Fellini by about half. That was in a stronger market than today.
 
Thanks for the replies. I figured the interior was an upgrade, because now you're actually willing to carry a nice cue in there. The old felt sucks, ha.

Now I know!
 
I have bought my fellini cases for around $200 each, but I wouldnt sell any of them for less than $300.

I would prefer the original interior.

If you have the original interiors you can put them back in easily.
 
Also it depends how well the new interior fis and looks. If I remember you posted them for sale but said the liner needed to "hemmed" in. If done well that would help.
 
It's not a Fellini without the original interior IMO... I would never buy one without it being all original. Might as well just buy GTF.. Which I'm happy with mine
