I worked out a trade for a poster and I am giving up the gold transformers. Now the guy wants the chrome bonus print too - but we can't figure out what he could trade or pay me for it. What do you THINK is the value of the chrome bonus print?

    It's a variant of the variant. I'm surprised more people don't want this. I'd say at least $100.

    100 seems like a fair value

    I wouldn't pay $5 for it. Has no reference to Pearl Jam on it. Would people have bought it on its own? Nope. A nice gesture from Ames Bros but if I would have got one it would have been on EBay with a $20 buy it now within days. I would 't want to have to store it.

    Look at the history for the Ames sub prints that used to be sent with the subscriptions when they did more posters. Yes they were sent when you bought five or six prints but they aren't worth anything.

    Not everyone's gonna care how much it's worth. I'm glad they went through the effort to try and make things right.

    Can't please everyone.

    That bonus should be included in your trade. It's part of that poster. EVERY gold poster has one accompanying it.

    Give him the poster.

    I made a deal to trade my Gold a few weeks ago. I agree with the others, its a part of the gold print, I'm letting my trade partner have the bonus as well. Especially since I said I would send him the tube without opening it or anything. Seems fair to me.

    The Gold by itself is solidly $300-$350+, and the bonus print will reach and stay around $200.

    The Chrome is around $450 and will only climb.....

    I wonder if anyone regrets cancelling their $250 Gold order now?

    T-n-G is correct in that every gold is supposed to include one gold or chrome bonus. Ames said it themselves. If you or a buddy did not receive one from Ames along w/ your gold then you need to let them know so they can make it right.

    I don't understand the appeal of the bonus poster either, but $20 is 1/10 the price one just sold for on ebay.
    OP, if you wanted to be cool, I'd sell it to him for $100. If you wanted to make money, go for the comparative ebay value.

    Not one bit.

    In response to OP, I'm guessing the value will hover around $100 or so but if you're asking what the value is to me? $0. As in I would not pay a dime for the print.
