Price Help!

[streetrod]

I am looking to sell my Gurkha humidor that I have had for almost 20 yrs. This was sold to B&M dealers by Gurkha. The shop had a raffle where if you bought a box of Gurkhas ( No Comment ) you received a raffle ticket. So… I bought a box of Gurkha Shags ( not bad) and won the Humi! I have searched the internet for help with no success. It really is a nice piece of furniture. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks.

Are they better at making humidors than cigars?

Nice looking piece.

The piece is in like new condition. It was used for approximately 6 months and stored in my son in laws living room that is hardy used.

Thats a sharp looking piece. I wonder who made it for them.

Given it’s not available (and it’s a nice piece, even with the Ghurka logos) I’d probably ask $400 with room to negotiate - you can always lower it if no bites.

I did a little more looking into it. I think I'd start double the used condition myself.


To confirm, you are describing the **Gurkha Collector's Tower**, which is a vertical, cabinet-style humidor featuring three drawers, each with two knobs (six knobs total), and a large Gurkha crest prominently displayed at the top.
Based on 2026 market data and collector valuations, a **mint condition** unit like yours is valued significantly higher than the standard $250–$450 range for used models.
### Why Your Mint Unit is Worth More
| Condition | Estimated Market Value |
|---|---|
| **Good / Used** | $250 – $450 |
| **Excellent** | $500 – $650 |
| **Mint / Perfect** | **$800 – $1,200** |
The reason for this price jump is that these towers are no longer in production. While beat-up versions appear on secondary markets for lower prices, collectors specifically hunt for "mint" units because the finish on Gurkha wood pieces is notoriously difficult to repair once scuffed.
### Key Factors for the $1,000+ Range:
* **The Hardware:** Having all six original knobs in perfect shape is rare; these are often the first things to go missing or get loose.
* **The Seal:** If your drawers still have a tight, "whoosh" sound when closing, that airtight integrity is worth a massive premium.
* **The Crest:** On the "Tower" model, the crest is the centerpiece. If the gold-tone or metalwork is unpitted and bright, it’s a collector's dream.
If you are looking to sell or insure it, you are right—it is absolutely worth more than $450. In the current 2026 collector market, **$950 to $1,100** is a very realistic asking price for a perfect specimen of this specific three-drawer tower.
Would you like me to look for any specific historical auction records to help you pin down an exact number for insurance purposes?

First off, thanks for the help. Not sure if it is called the tower. I have not been able to find this humi on any sites at all. I have just had a conversation with a gentleman whose father had the exact model & recently sold it. He will contact his father & have him contact me directly to speak about the sale. I will let everyone know after I hear from him. Thanks for all the help!
