2 were brand new in the box, one was brand new from a store with no box (wall hanger field rental), and 3-4 were used.

I see you point, my first mag was used, but there definitely is still a market for the non RT valves, IMO...

Too many people such as my self using CO2, too many people who prefer the consistency of the classic valve instead of the RT valve that suffers from mild "shoot-up", and too many people who don't want to spend twice as much on a valve for the RT effect they don't need.


However, I would be totally interested in an aluminum or partly aluminum classic valve
