I'd say at best that disc is 7/10 more likely 6/10. It has ink and noticeable wear from use all along the bottom edge of the rim.

OK I'll trust your judgment on that. It is surprising how fast discs degrade, as I've seen (and thrown) brand new discs that end up looking worse than this one currently does after only about two rounds.
A little cleanup with a magic sponge and the condition of the Destroyer has gone up to about 8/10, if this makes a difference in its value.
Here's the guideline in the Marketplace for future reference.Disc Condition Scale aka "The Sleepy Scale"
10 - Never thrown, no ink, brand new condition
9 - Field tested or used for one or two rounds
8 - Lightly used with very minimal wear
7 - Used with some minor dings or scuffs but still in good shape
6 - Typical used disc with the usual dings, scratches but still worthy
5 - Kinda beat, significant wear, has lost a good bit of it's stability
4 - Beat up turnover disc with some evident war story wear
3 or under - Beat to Hades dog chew toy
to be an 8/10 it cant have really hit anything hard enough to leave the small nicks along the rim. Like if you bought a new disc, used it for a couple rounds but didn't like it and didn't really hit anything with it.
Based on the Sleepy Scale, it sounds to me like you have just described a 9/10 (Field tested or used for one or two rounds). I say this with all due respect as a forum "newbie," and I wouldn't disagree with the fact that this disc should be rated as a 7/10 and not 8/10 as I'd estimated earlier. Anyway, I'll put the thing up for sale or auction and see what happens. If it doesn't fetch a good price I'll just forget about it.
My personal opinion is do not list the Sleepy Scale. As you said, it is a very subjective rating. Take pictures and lots of them. All angles of the disc and any scuff or mark should be prominently displayed. This way it lets the buyer make up his or her mind based on facts not an opinion. This way they cannot be mad that you "over graded" the disc. It is a decently valuable disc in very good condition. Just let other people see that and you will be well compensated for it.
Cyclone $15-20
About $30-$35 on the Cyclone due mainly to how worn in the disc is. If new those Cyclones to the right people sell for up to $50 as That old Baseline plastic pre old stiff Pro D was more like the way KC is now.
I'm not sure what magical land either of you inhabit, but an old used cyclone isn't going to get anything close to that. New ones are going to have a tough time getting $10+.
I think Eddy misspoke. I think what he meant to ask is the disc penned with *DS or whatever they use to designate it or is the word "Destroyer" engraved under where the weight is penned. Innova always pens weight, it is the designation of the mold that you want to be penned if it is to be older and more valuable.
Hey all. Had these disc for years. Found them in a pond in 04 . Never been able to get an idea of what they could be worth. Any feedback at all would be much appreciated. Thx for your thoughts and input.

Thanks that does help. The beast is in excellent condition other than the innova lettering coming off in the middle. Monster and firebird are about 5/10 I'd say. Sorry for the lack of details, I'm very new. These others I've had a while. Various conditions and weighs.
