    The 1st generation Ti10 CP coded at luxis sport has a price tag of HK$3800 = USD$485 = £260 GBP = EURO 330 :D:D:D:D:D:D:D. Although its a CP coded racket, do you guys think its a resonable price?

    no. think of the stuff that you need that you could get for half that money. Unless you have nothing else to do with the money.

    If it is based on retail price of yonex and not the shop then the most expensive is NS9000S/X.

    Depending on how forcefully you bargain, the ArmorTec 700 Limited Edition or the ArcSaber 10 could be the most expensive Yonex racquet.

    In Singapore, you can expect to pay anything between SGD 260 and SGD 300 for a 'ready-to-use' package :)

    The most expensive YY racquet is the one a buyer will pay for, :p

    Pretty much old vintage racquets for collectors,

    No not really. I see wooden rackets selling only for $10 in a junk shop.

    that is because they were probably in questionable condition.
    if they were mint, i'm sure someone will snap them up.
