Unless it was something I personally owned before, nope.
I'd pay a huge premium for my old RE-301.

I very recently sold Doom Bloom #001, but only really included that as trivia and charged the same price for it. I wasn't expected to pay more for it being the first one, so no one else should either as far as I'm concerned, especially when it's a boutique company.

I find it funny when companies number each run separately, like SS/BS. Doesn't matter if it's #001, it's #001 of only one in half a million different runs.

NO.
That person is Jack Deville... the owner of Mr. Black.
He used to sell t-shirt with a 40$ postage fee on his website.

Only if it's one of those sub 150 Elements with the weird gain. Some builder do change their designs over time, so I guess that would e the only case? Also how the first round of EQD Palisades were capable of 18V operation.
Other than that I generally don't care about serial though, though I did ask for my Pretty Years to be #1 as a joke, and Brian (being the broiest of bros) actually delivered.

The bitquest I just picked up is number 989. I only know this because the box is sitting in front of me. I would have paid $5 more for number 1000, but no more than $5.

See that's what I thought LOL! Surely he is trolling. Otherwise no one would buy those or at least I hope not.
Chime in Jack, we know you lurk bro.

Sold my downward spiral for 55 bucks and my flange for 60....didn't take well to being hit hard with noise...somtimes I'm interested on serial # for the change that might have occurred during production...I do get all giddy when I open a pedal and see its a low # ...but I used to collect comics and shit as a kid, so im just stuck in collection mode 4 life..anyways Jacks super dope...and I have only come across like 1 or 2 listings on reverb I can't see...I'd like them to have a sold filter like ebay so I can dwell on all the shit I missed out on.

Yeah I'd pay a fair bit over odds for my Warped Vinyl mki #004. Had a stupid nice sound, more so than the other mki I've played and my current mkii. Sold it to fund my first mkii, and regretted it hard.
