Is this Acan really and Ultra?

Hi, so I was looking on a used site and saw that someone is selling Ultra Acans for $90 USD or $115 CAN. Are they really worth that much?

Here’s the link to the ad: https://www.usedvictoria.com/classif..._31555647.lite

Thanks!
Ethan

Something is only worth what an individual is willing to pay. To you it may be worth it, to me, no.

Looks fairly standard to me, although pretty.

Are acans hard to get in Canada?

They are worth what someone is willing to pay. As far as ultra, meh, they don’t look overly special. There are many nicer out there for similar prices. They are nice, just not over the top.

Ok, I think I’ll leave it. They are actually pretty easy to get here, though where I live we only have one good LFS on the island

Ultra, by my understanding usually is used for 2 vivid colors, and rainbow is 3 or more. Non ultra are just the average non vivid colors.
