FREE Yonex MP-99

Yes, you can find true love for FREE.

If you re-call from my previous post, my Yonex MP-99 (2u) just will not part with me - it is like . . . Fatal Attraction?!?!?

So guys and gals of this forum . . . and you will only see it on this forum (for now) . . . a BRAND NEW, UNSTRUNG, Yonex MP99 with original plastic still on the handle and a couple of minor paint chips - ALL THIS can be yours for FREE. (photos attached)

However, shipping and handling to anywhere in Canada (even if you pick it up) will be a mere C$175 or US$130.

You will know this racquet is yours if you buy it because it has two one of a kind paint chips that is not on most other racquets - more rare than a CP/CN racquet

hm... if i recall correctly, the market price for a MP99 in HK is around HK$900. that comes to around US$115. and here you are selling a chipped one for US$130. this beauty of yours must be one of those "high cost" type....

**Laurence** · 01-03-2003, 12:28 AM

Yeah, hk$900 is about right for a MP99 in HK except, this MP-99 is FREE - buyer only pays shipping and handling

also, not everyone will buy a plane ticket to HK to pick-up a racquet, if some one will sell to me a MP99 3uSp for hk$900 landed in Canada, I will buy 5

Look at what you are getting:

one of a king MP99 > no one will have the same

automatic theft-deterrent > they will steal someone else's first

no waiting > shipping from Asia to North America takes a little while

less paranoia > less afraid to clash racquets with other players

finally a good laugh . . . and a good price

Can you get all these benefits from buying a MP99 right here, right now?

I really like to know who will be the LUCKY person to receive this FREE racket. I remember when I bought my Honda Odyseey in 1999. The dealer had a drawing to find out who can buy the 2 Odyseey in stock. I was one of the LUCKY guy ended up paying 3000 extra for those useless options, and every body in the dealership came to congratulate me.

hey laurence you wouldn't be interested in trading for a mp77 w/ some extra cash would u?

**LazyBuddy** · 01-03-2003, 01:59 PM

I still remember that u succefully sold ur cab20sp on ebay. And this time, wow, cool...

Seems this guy really got "business" going...

**Laurence** · 01-03-2003, 03:23 PM

LazyBuddy,

I sold MORE than 1 Cab20 SP on EBAY . . . Kwun would probably be shaking his head in disbelief . . .

Problem is, every time I goto HK, I can't help but wonder into the badminton shops of Mongkok . . . racquets of all different models, strings of all different colours, shoes and bags that aren't available in North America, and really smooth sales people. When I leave the store, I usually spend about C$2000 - 3000.

Other problem is, racquets in Canada are way too expensive. At the WinterClub in Calgary, they sell MP100s for C$280 (US$180), MP99s for C$270, Cab20MS for C$170 (US$110) plus tax on top of the price

Now I understand why you'd want to sell yours for C$175

Here in Toronto I can easily get an MP-99 SP 2U strung with BG-85 or BG-68 Ti (or any less expensive string) for only $200 - $210 (depending on the buyer's haggling skill

) I feel lucky to be living in the GTA (badminton-wise). Anyhow, good luck with your sale!
