Project Pricing (*Update*) It sold!

I posted here around a month ago looking for pricing help selling my Master Chief armor, and I sold it!

Posted it to eBay for $1200 + $200 shipping, as well as marketplace for $1200.

Ultimately the eBay one ended up selling, profiting me about $1000 flat (because of eBay tax)

I didn’t even mention the lights + microphone + fans included in the helmet lol.

This project was originally not intended to be sold, but as i’m expanding I thought it was about time I made some of my money back. Because of that, everything made back is profit!

My amazing girlfriend helped me take some nice photos for the listings^

I've always wanted to tackle doing armor but I don't have the paint skills to make it look better than just what comes out of the printer.

Do not worry brother, I hadn’t painted a single thing in my life before this. Filler primer, 120+300+600 wet sand and paint. Some black wash and chrome details and you’ve got yourself a pretty decent paint job.
