:P Well I've heard rumors that ascalon bows have different flight statistics.

Which bow does it seem to resemble?

That would sell for many monies, it's "godly" with the +30 health and the +15%.

There's one Ascalon bow with 15% > 50 that is a Shortbow, and one that is a Longbow (or might be a Flatbow or Recurve, don't know for sure). Do your testing before you add the upgrades IMO. It's not hard to tell.

100k is my PC just because a collector bow isn't desirable to most buyers.

Price check changed to 75k.

Most people who buy it will salvage it for the grip or string to put it on some sort of gold bow they have. My suggestion is just to keep it, customize it, and use it, then salvage it when you're ready to get rid of it and sell whatever part you get.

you cannot salvage collector bows, so those upgrades will stick in that bow forever since there is nothing better to upgrade with them.

They fixed that last time I checked.

Maybe it was only collector armor.

It's all about the look man.

By your logic dye should be entirely free.

That being said I'd say that it's worth the combined total of the upgrades which are about 75k-100k each. The combined upgrades of the bow are ~200k actually, but that's beside the point. The reason peope buy gold bows as opposed to regular bows is simply because they want to be different. It's the same reason we pay thousands of dollars more for diamonds when cubic zirconia look nearly the same. Bragging rights basically. To say, "I have this bow, it has 15% over 50%, it's not a collector bow, and it also has max mods," is much more appealing to most people than saying, "I got this bow from the collector for the cost of the collectable items and tacked these two godly upgrades onto it. Sure, the upgrades are worth a drool, but to bring it back to the other analogy, it'd be like putting a cubic zirconia into a pure gold ring and taking the diamond that would go into that ring and putting it into a gold plated one. Sure, they're both rings, and sure, they both look the same, but the supply and demand system which this game and real life are based upon are mainly based upon rarity and uniqueness.
