Same guy that sold me two incorrectly labeled bands a few weeks ago—one of them being “Cactus”
Not the best deal, but also not the worst.

Have BestBuy receipt to show it's original.www.ebay.com
I ordered that band for my boyfriend a few months ago from Best Buy. There was an issue with it show a delay, 3 weeks late and suffice to say, I messaged BB and they refunded me. The band showed up 2 days later. Lol. Was a nice surprise.
Love the color. It matches his work uniform.

Assuming you’re asking about the entry level bands (Sport Band, Sport Loop, Woven Nylon), $80 for a Hyper Grape loop. Lowest I have spent for a band in this category would be $10 for a black woven nylon.

Blue Orbit/Gamma Blue for $80.
I had a chance to buy it for $100 months earlier & wish I had. It's one of my favs, and I bought a bunch of bands that I liked less in the interim.
The $20 "savings" wasn't worth it. 🙂
Lowest? Orange/Red (?) woven nylon for $8 I think.

I think like 99 for rose red. After quite a long time of waiting around for deals.

Highest... $125 for a USA Woven Nylon.
Lowest... $5 for a Black G2 which I ruined and threw away.
Just got in the game two weeks ago. Already spent more than I care to share. However, my highest to day is $100 for Ultra Violet.
Everything else has been 45 and under.

Yep, entry level bands. Hyper Grape Loop is on my want list right now.
Nice, that's at the top of my want list.
Blue Orbit/Gamma Blue is nice!
You know it's crazy when double retail is considered a "deal"!
Those are great pick ups. Amazing that OEM bands can be found for that cheap yet people still resort to knock offs.
Nice to meet a fellow newbie bandaholic. What's on the top of your want list right now for past season bands? Mine is Hyper Grape Loop.
Ugh, would love a red rose. It's like a rich, blood red color.

$50. 😎
(And that includes Ultra Violet, Celestial Teal, Hyper Grape loop, all bought in the past couple months.)
That's my cutoff, I won't spend over retail for a band.
Cheapest was $5 for a Black sport band, also a NIB Clementine for $8.50. And there have been a ton in the $10-$15 range.
Most was $95 for a Flash Sport band 42mm on an auction that I wasn’t going to lose.

Auctions are always fun when going after something you really want. Sometimes winning it is more important and the cost is secondary.

Retail for a new, open box discontinued loop? For sure.

I don’t really know what my most expensive is as they are all in foreign currency, and a I’ll disregard the shipping as that’s high on everything, so I’ll go $104 for a Hibiscus 44mm sealed in box that is still on its way to me (from South Korea...). Mopping up the rarities for complete. I really want it in 38mm so my wife has the spectrum of red / orange/ pink, but it was literally the only one listed for quite some time that I could buy and I know how Lilac went.
Lowest is probably the bundle I bought with a Hermes S2 a few weeks back, all 44mm lightly worn (not even a patina) Fauve Barenia, Feu Epsom, black last edition Classic Buckle, Electric Pink, Black and one other I forget loops and a Midnight Blue WN for NZ$460 - about $305. And it was local so no expensive shipping. That price was after selling the Watch, orange band and a couple of third party bands. I still have a good fake SS Milanese to sell also.
I actually think Chargie’s pricing is pretty fair and also a great gauge of rarity. I don’t buy loops so I don’t know if $69 is a lot, but comparing his loop pricing is likely a good way to compare their relative rarity, and when he starts to show low stock I think a given band is about to go officially rare. If he’s sold out then you have a hunt on.
I say fair because he knows what he has got yet he doesn’t price things like UV at $250 because someone will just have to have it and pay that much. For me with his free shipping he’s actually very cost effective - my total collection cost would likely make all your eyes water as I have to pay shipping to NZ and 15% sales tax on the cost plus shipping, which ebay / Amazon etc. collect at sale time so can’t be avoided.
None of that is to say there aren’t yoinks around, but rather than compare to retail I’d almost suggest comparing to Chargie is a realistic measure of when something is a yoink.
