    you lucky duck. I have no clues about if they are real or anything but at least the ns9900 seems real to me. O_O did your neighbor play badminton?

    Yeah. They were avid players. They also threw in 2 heavy duty Yonex Nets and some other stuff.

    How can I find out if they're real? Also, whats the 9900 worth? amongst other ones?

    The majority look real to me... you are lucky! I'm in the UK so can go on rough prices.

    Nanospeed 9900 was £160 brand new few years ago, a top end Yonex racket, used sell for about £50-80 these days here in UK.
    Carbonex 8600 £20-40 used.
    Nanospeed 9000 £30-50 used if real (possibly fake).
    Isometric 75 MF Light £20-40 used as considered a classic for some collectors (10 year old racket I believe).
    Carlton Powerblade Titanium £5-10 used.
    Carlton 801 TiPower £5-10 used.

    The Carltons are still pretty decent. All in all, good buy!


    Kindest regards,

    That's crazy dumping their gear. What's got into them? Something in the water??

    No Idea....but let's just say......they have enough money to have built their own personal (covered and uncovered) badminton courts in their backyard.

    Bah, they probably can cover their loss by selling just one of their many shares in Amazon.

    Backyard is an understatement with the area needed.......

    Since they sold the racquets, I wonder what they will do with the court.

    not sure which one i would be getting more excited about. finding cheap racket in a yard sale, or having a neighbor with a badminton court in their backyard!

    But then, eww, not only you'd be playing badminton *backyard outdoors*, you'd also be using *cheap* rackets. And I'm speaking the truth when I say all that... ;)

    At our age, every badminton game we can play is a blessing. Don't be picky about it!

    Lol... perhaps I *am* spoiled by all these years of playing on mat floors in indoor badminton gyms.

    Add to that micro gauge thin strings with crispy feather shuttles and I'm in heaven. :)
