What should I pay for BD?

Postby Mr nanotech » Sat Jun 12, 2010 5:06 pm

I'm getting VERY pissed off now that every second hand BD bar seems to go to someone else. Just got out bid in the last 2secs on ebay (happens EVERY friggin time) just now and all the others advertised on the forum, someone has gotten in first.

What figures should I be looking at for second hand BD bars? I own an NA so I'm happy with either BD bar as long as it's powder coated black steel, NOT the alloy bar. Second hand I've seen them go between $450-600 roughly, so I guess I have a ball park figure.
Not fond of paying $800+ for new.

Is there anyone out there who would be looking at selling theirs and what is a reasonable price?

that went for $475 and as you said, they seem to go anywhere up to $600

What would you have paid?

My advice is dont get out played. Get out bid instead. By that I mean if you would have paid $600 then bid $600. If someone gets it for $605 than you got out bid and you can happily let them have it for more than you were prepared to pay. If that bid of $470 was yours (in the final 5 seconds) and you would have paid more, then you got out played and should be pissed at yourself for not playing well.

The next time something you want appears on ebay, do yourself a favour and drop your maximum on it at your first bid. You will feel heaps better if you miss out knowing you wouldnt have paid the final price anyway :)

As you can tell, I was watching that auction too. 8) (but it wasnt me that won it)
