You could always buy my glove, it's from Josh Tilman for much cheaper. <img src=\"style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/thumbsup.gif\" style=\"vertical-align:middle\" emoid=\":thumbsup:\" border=\"0\" alt=\"thumbsup.gif\" /> Only jokin with you man, I think you'll get it. <img src=\"style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/teehee.gif\" style=\"vertical-align:middle\" emoid=\":teehee:\" border=\"0\" alt=\"teehee.gif\" /> Chris's Numero Uno is really some piece of work man, hope you can find one! I thought he still produced them though? Best of luck!

Chris retired from glove building a couple of months ago and I just could never afford to spend that much on a glove especially when I have the ability to build my own. But I always love seeing other people's work and he retired before I really ever decided I wanted one. I just recently got a Ken Hastings glove from a 3rd party (his Part 1) for $80 and apparently he is done making gloves for a while as well. So, hopefully there's a spare Numero Uno floating around out there somewhere. I really don't care what kind of condition it's in either.

The sad thing is, they really lose their "worth" when you're also a glove builder because you feel like you're buying something you already have so it's really emotionally hard for me to pay high prices for a glove. I have gloves from a few other builders and seeing how the glove has been assembled, aged, and how well it fits so far has been a disappointment and can't believe they are sold for as much as they are. That's a big problem with most of the gloves I own from other people.. it seems they cut their parts by hand and thus it results in often-times unidentical pieces and thus the movement or fit of the glove becomes poor or looks sloppy or rushed. Maybe I've just been on an unlucky streak of owning bad gloves.

I can certainly sympathize with your finding it difficult to spend high prices on a type of item that you build yourself, since you know the trade and much of the mechanics yourself. On the other hand, I don't think in virtue of this fact that a particular piece of artwork, especially one that you enjoy and desire to obtain, should necessarily be considered of lesser value to you (even if it feels that way). So the 'right price', I propose, would be as usual--somewhere between the price that they were originally sold at, and the prices that they are currently being sold at given rarity of the piece and/or the fact that they are no longer made, taking into account the fact that any now being sold are used. For a Numero Uno, I would price them at anywhere between $150-$250 on average. If it has custom features, perhaps on the higher end of that scale.The second issue you bring up is just related to buying quality versus crap. Yes, there are a lot of really bad gloves out there which are poorly cut, assembled, weathered, whatever. And I would say your own gloves are probably superior to many of them already, so they would be of little value for you to purchase.I can personally vouch for the fact that Chris' gloves are some of the best that I have seen in terms of precision of cuts and general mechanics (movement of pieces, etc). The armatures on his gloves are also very nicely sized. I have a part 1 from Travis Cowsill, and while it is an amazing glove, the armature is not as comfortable to wear (it is too long). And Travis was charging $325 when I purchased this one.In any case, I can't help you with a sale, but wish you the best in finding one.
