Anybody know what a never used, no kidding, Gerry Glaser V15 1/2” bowl gouge is worth? Know a fellow who has one?

At glaserhitec.com the cpm 15v 1/2" bowl gouge is $225. That includes a handle. They are presently out of stock.
The gouge I referenced is 15 years old, are you comparing apples to apples? Thanks
It would help if you indicated in your post what type of apple you have. Check the link below if you would like to see what kind of apple this is.

They have been out of stock for several years. Thinking they may not be making them anymore so this could be a collectors item.
Yes, I think you are correct. I know of one for sale for $425, brand new but kind of out of my range!
I have a 5/8V CPM 15V bowl gouge made by Doug Thompson. I'm pretty sure he doesn't/won't make them anymore as you don't gain much over CPM 10V steel with the price the 15V steel costs above the 10V. I believe he said that the sharpened 15V can be a little chippy. I can't confirm that as I have never used the one I got as the 5/8" CPM 10V gouges are my favorites and I have a few backups.
Have several old Glaser tools and use them daily...last 15V 5/8 bought used 3 years ago for $50.
Can't afford "collector's items"...but interested in buying a working tool.
As they wear down, replace with Thompson's.
