Ah crap. They had in on black friday sale for 135,- EUR yesterday in the morning. Now it seems they are sold out of N80 and that black friday finally has come to an end.
You should have told me earlier... but 135 EUR for a racket that old is not exactly cheap tbh. I still got 4 of them, I‘ll wait for an opportunity.
Oh, and while we are talking - smoof also has it (right now...) for 135 EUR (https://www.smoof.de/li-ning-n80.html). Not a spectacular deal, but at least less than the bold 160 EUR that they are normally charging for it.
N9II Fu Hai Feng Retirement Edition is now available at Racquetforce. Racket only (price is surprisingly human...) http://racquetforceonline.com/li-ning_n9II_Fu_Hai_feng_world_limited_retirement_racquet Golden Set (a bit less human...): http://racquetforceonline.com/li-ning_fu_hai_feng_world_limited_retirement_golden_set
Darn it.... e78 is trying to seduce me again: https://e78.us/AYPM314-1 That's roughly 140,- EUR excl. tax. If only the color was prettier...
Yh slightly gaudy with the gold if I must say so. Esp comparing to the normal N9ii colours that look awesome already.
@s_mair It is asking you to bring him home. think the 'limited' commemorative racket is everywhere now. The set (racket and bag) retail is 2380 Chinese RMB even though i seen retailers selling for 2080RMB. E78 is selling the set at 2,285.00Hongkong dollars (which is pretty reasonable.) https://e78.us/index.php?route=product/search&search=AYPM314 personally i prefer the old n9ii black bag over this bling bling bag.
Hahah you must've been on badmintoncn, people have bought boxes of them! Wouldn't be surprised if half of the Chinese stock are owned by badmintoncn forumers. They tend to stay away from the international edition though, so those should still be plentiful and relatively cheap. Afaik, there's 2,000 Chinese units and 1,000 International units.
haha i'm just surfing taobao.com. international edition has no serial numbers? haha unless you have No. 0001 haha doesnt that make the international edition more valuable?
The Chinese edition has the serial as: FHF.xxxx The International edition has FHF.xxxx INTL Furthermore, Chinese edition has the Chinese National Team Emblem on the cone. As for whether the international edition will be more valuable - tl;dr Nope. Chinese market doesn't see value in international edition. Flipping of racquets in the international market is rare and never reach the prices of the CDM. An old Ti10 will probably be worthless in the second hand market internationally but can sell for profitable prices in China. Sought after collectables include: Armotec 700/900 all editions inclusive, Voltric ZF, ZF2 (esp. LD ed), N90 (1st gen) to list a few And without saying, CN/CP (Chinese National Team) versions will fetch higher prices. Yet to see anyone buy boxes of the international edition, so I don't think so Chinese edition is where the money's at but the rarity of this 'limited edition' has been overly hyped and seems rather purchasable first hand. Prices will likely only skyrocket after a couple of years when they're sold out or at least less abundant.
I try to google user review about this racket. Unfortunately i found nothing. Appreciate if you could share a few link with us..
Been busy. Here's the photo of the serial nos. I manage to get 191 to 200 for the intl range. The bags looks quite good.
