What's the going rate right now for a never used Nike Zoom Jasari? I can't even find them on ebay (there are some gently used)

jasaris are the worst spike ever made because they have permanent spikes that are dull and non replaceable. also no arch and impossible to run in unless you are a heel striker that cannot run on the balls of your feet like god intended for you to. i wouldnt take a new jasaris if someone gave them to me for free or even paid me to wear them.

I'm in the same boat as this guy. I like the Zoom Victory, Matumbo and Mamba much better than the Jasari.
Jasari's are still one of the most popular spikes ever produced. For brand new, if you had box and spike bag, you could probably get $150-$175. Unless they're some odd size, like 15's or 5's...
$25 (is this a Black Friday deal?)
I've followed Jasaris for a few years now picking up a pair for myself last year, I have never seen a new pair go for less than $150. Usually they go for over $200. Honestly its more of a collector's item at this point, my Vic's/Tumbo's are by far better spikes, having a pair of Jasari's is honestly just to say you have a pair... however I will say they are the most comfortable spike/flat I have ever worn.
I keep seeing posts about Jasaris on here, so I wanted to share an incident from last year so others can avoid it.
I am 32 and have raced on the track only about 4 or 5 times since graduating in 2002. Last spring I was feeling fit and entered a small college race and decided to wear my old Jasaris. If I remember correctly, these were produced from about 1996 through around 1999, so they were roughly 13 years old and had been run in only once or twice since 2002.
It was an 80 degree day, so maybe the hot track had something to do with it, but my favorite spike lasted only 600m before BOTH spike plates tore from the shoes and were flapping around with each passing stride.
Apparently the glue losts its adhesiveness over the years.
For the record, I finished the race, setting a personal record for the rarely contested 5000m Individual Medley (1x600 in spikes, 1 x 600 barefoot, 1 x 3800 in trainers).
