Vaperev Edition Nemesis Anyone? (Just Inquiring ATM)

[WilliamC83]

I'm VERY reluctantly considering selling my VR Nemesis (SN: VR 317) & I'm just curious as to who would be interested & what you would consider a fair price. I bought it new/unused in 10/2013 from a guy on Facebook who got it directly from Vape Revolution at ECC 2013. It will come with the retail packaging, suede pouch, all tube sections & stock springs (currently upgraded to magnets).
The day I got it I put a clear vinyl J-Wrap on it so its in REALLY GOOD condition. The finish is in excellent condition except for some VERY minor & VERY small hair line scratches on the top cap & around the outer edge of the switch, easily remedied by a quick polishing which I may actually do myself before selling. I would rate it: 8/10 as it is, 9/10 after polishing & 10/10 if you sent it to Vape'N'Shine.
The Vaperev Edition is one of the most limited versions of the Nemesis, only 1050 were made & their no longer in production & will NEVER be made again. Try to find one for under $250 ANYWHERE!
The pics below are from VapeRev just for reference, mine isn't in as good of condition but very close, after a good polishing I would rate it 9/10, if you sent it to Vape'N'Shine they would have it looking like in the pic below. Let me know if your interested & what you would consider a fair price? I was thinking $200 since their no longer in production, Ive seen them go for a lot more in similar condition. I love high end mechanicals but the performance drop as the battery dies is getting a little old. I'm looking to get a good quality regulated device like a Vapor Shark rDNA30. A trade might be possible if the device is the same value & condition as my VR Nemesis. Let me know fellow vapers. Thanks for looking, take care & VAPE ON!

Not going to disrespect you at all on this fine piece of equipment by offering a pitiful lowball amount, if it were me, personally, I would keep this beauty as a dependable backup, and a piece of artwork that will never be seen again. I'd take out a loan if I had to, to buy myself a DNA30, or whatever I wanted, but to let this sweet thing go for less that $225.00 would be sacrilege. And that is just my humble opinion sir. No way would I sacrifice a treasure like this for a mod that may or MAY NOT be as good or better.

I TOTALLY hear you Daniel. This is (as Grimm Green would say) NOT, NOT, NOT something I'm considering lightly, at all. The VR Nemesis was my first mech & first high end mod. I saved up for a couple months & then had to wait another couple months before I was able to obtain one, so needless to say its very much sentimental.
Unfortunately my budget is NIL atm & while I probably could get a loan somewhere I HATE getting or asking for loans. I actually have a pretty nice intel quad core desktop with pretty good specs that I could sell for around $200 (maybe more, IDK) so that's an option.
One thing that REALLY has me concerned are these FDA regulations. If they go into effect, as written, then e-cig manufacturers will have to submit VERY EXPENSIVE applications for products produced after 2007. This will effect 99% of the products on the market so I want to make ABSOLUTELY SURE that I get a durable, dependable, good performing regulated device before that happens. Ive seen many reviews & talked with several people who own Vaporshark DNA30's & they all basically say the same thing, its one of if not their favorite device. They perform great, are well built & are pretty durable. The main issue I hear with the vaporshark is that after time the coating starts to peel. As mod issues go that's very minor & easily remedied by using the optional shark skin. I heard the new VS rDAN30 has a more durable coating, improved 510 connection with spring loaded gold plated pin (does a gold pin really help on a regulated device?), improved firing button, improved internal support structure etc. It just seems like one of the best DNA devices & I REALLY like the small form factor, most other DNA box mods are pretty big & I have small hands. I haven't definitively decided on a vaporshark yet but to me its about the most appealing DNA30 device available. The new DZ SX-350 looks like a really nice 50W box mod but I prefer the smaller size of the VS rDNA30. If you can suggest a better DNA30 or 30-50W mod in a small form factor then please let me know.
