Does anyone know the approximate value of the larger pre-recall CCH Alien cams?

Around 30-40 depending on condition of lobes/sling. I personally own the grey alien (equivalent of #1 C4) that I use a lot, they just aren't as versatile the bigger they get

Pre-catch = $30-$40.

Post-catch = $30-$40, one Adult Depend, and an ounce of weed (Top shelf).

A gray alien is the size of a .4 C4. The CLEAR Alien you are referring to is much closer to a Gold C4 than the Red. The purple is almost exactly the same as a red C4.

They are still more versatile< just in the larger sizes, that matters less.

I'd pay 10 internet misinformation credits for one.

I have a full rack of the larger sizes. They are pretty beefy, and have their place.

Shallow placements and holes/ pods are where the work best with the narrow head design. Good to have on an aid rack, as you can clip in the thumb loop like bd c4's.

Orange is a good size, and purple.

30-40 bucks is average.

Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.
