FS: 2 x Yonex Armortec Super Brands Limited Edition

Hi all,

--- If you're here, it's because you know. And because you know, you'll understand that this is not a typical listing and that the prices are strictly non-negotiable. ---

Like many of you, I've been collecting rackets since the early 2000s throughout my badminton "career". During this time, I was lucky enough to be able to purchase 2 x Yonex Armortec Super Brands rackets over 10 years ago. Unfortunately I'm now at a stage in life where badminton is no longer a priority, and these 2 pieces will continue to sit in storage unless someone else gives it the respect it deserves.

I won't go into any more background/detail about these rackets besides providing the usual listing details as a quick Google will return plenty; if you've been following the scene long enough, you'll find plenty in these forums too, including some other listings here in the Buy & Sell section.

Racket 1:
- Number: 3199/5000
- Serial: 4946569 270546SP

Racket 2:
- Number: 3200/5000
- Serial: 4946570 270546SP

Common across both rackets:
- Only one spec: 3U/G4.
- Original grips removed since they degraded and crumbled horribly. Wooden handle taken care of, and both have black Yonex Super Grap over the top.
- Both strung with white Yonex BG66 at 25x26lbs. I string my own rackets.
- Both have their original hard shell covers, as well as certificates and cards that originally came with the rackets.
- Yes, both have "SUPER BARANDS 2003/2004" on the shaft. Please Google why.
- Both have been taken care of very well and played with very few times. Of course no scratches, chips, etc. - I wouldn't dare.
- Photos attached below.

I'm asking for AU$400 per racket, AU$800 for both (no bulk discounts). I'm based in Melbourne, Australia, and local pickup is preferred, but I'm also happy to post worldwide at your own cost on top of the racket price. Given the current climate, I would be budgeting an extra AU$50 for a single racket, AU$100 for both for postage and handling, but please reach out if interested - I have a lot of boxes and padding and other shipping material thanks to Amazon and other online purchases, so I can ensure these will be packed carefully.

Payment preferred via PayPal or TransferWise (or cash if local pickup), any additional fees/costs in these or any other payment methods will be passed onto the buyer.

Thanks in advance for the interest.

 

Yep, these are still available.

 

Hi all, given this has been here for about 1.5 years now and is still unsold, I’m reducing the price from AU$500 per racket to AU$450 per racket. Original post edited to reflect this too. Thanks!

 

Hi all, forgot about this post so giving it a bump as both rackets are still available.

 

Friendly 2024 bump with a price decrease.
