OSP  Expert all+power, all-round,(flaredlegend handle),90g weight,one of the best blade In the world,masterpieces,best feeling old stigain perfect condition,little used.Blade assembled  with one week old tenergy 80fx  red and Dhs hurricane 8 national blue sponge black rubber 39degrees 2.1mm. Rubber has 1 week play.

DHS Hurricane 8 national version is 100% real rubber. This rubber designed for a new plastic ball and can be used on backhand ads well as forehand. Great rubber to loop as well as fantastic in blocking.

Ops blade is a special order hand made blade. In my opinion it is off - sped wise. With tenergy 80fx and Dhs hurricane 8 very good speed and control.Very good blade. Sold!!!

I am offering 55 euros for the blade, but only if you tell us the weight of expert itself.

The price of this setup, brand new, is probably less than 175, so we're paying you for the privilege of testing the bat to see if you like it before sending it out to us. On top of that, you'd probably make around 160 if you sold it on ebay. People often, as courtesy, add a small discount for fellow forum members, but you want to use it as an opporunity to make even more money by advertising it here. 

Unless this has since been retracted, the forum rules have changed for a trial period to allow people to comment on price. If it has been retracted I apologise, and if informed I'll remove any reference to price in my comment. Unless no one takes notice of the rule change, the moderators will have no information to work with on whether to keep the change. 

Grandpa is pointing that i give false details in order to sell my product. Is this what you think Obvious? This is my only concern. Price is what i think is reasonable in todays market and believe me i always sell my product so it must be reasonable. If you looking for a bargain than you are in the wrong address. I'm not buying bargains and also not selling them. Hope it is very clear for you.

Since other "national" rubbers are called national because they're supposedly chosen for the national team, and the national team don't use Hurricane 8, I'm willing to bet this is just the same standard Hurricane 8 blue sponge that other people on this and other forums have used. All your postings follow this same trend.

Gradpa, your opinion - that the price of this setup in UK is less than £175 - is not based on actual equipment prices.

OSP Expert is 85 euros from ospblades.com + 9 euros shipping to UK. this is about $105 or £73. I imagine that shipping fee to USA is likely to  be higher.

T80FX is £44.99 from teesport +£2.99 delivery (or $74.99 from megaspin).

I don't know how much DHS H8 National blue sponge should retail for, but DHS H3 Neo National Blue Sponge is $114 from http://www.saletabletennis.com based in HKG, which is ~£79 (which is roughly how much other places sell H3 Neo national blue sponge for), so it is reasonable to assume that H8 National Blue Sponge would cost at least same. Dunno what the shipping fee will be to UK. Probably over £2.99 :-)

Therefore, the total price of this setup in UK is at least £73 + £48 +£79 = £200 plus shipping fee from HKG. If this setup was ordered from the USA, it will probably cost  $105 + $75 + $114 = $294 plus shipping fee from Hungary for the blade + whatever megaspin will charge for t80fx + the shipping fee from HKG.

Even if one got  t80fx from tt-japan where it is rumoured to sell for 4250 yen = ~$37.75 = ~£26.21, then the price would go down to £175 + shipping fee from tt-japan, which is still more than what the OP is asking for.

IMHO, you're being unreasonable.

P.S.: Also, could you provide links to the forum posts mentioning the "standard Hurricane 8 blue sponge".

H3 Neo National Blue Sponge cost that high only because CNT use it. H8 nobody use so no reason it will cost high price

Your friend probably bought the standard H8 orange sponge for $30. Please provide a link to a webshop that sells "H8 National blue sponge" for $30.

Why are you arguing for nothing, the seller will show us the bills and whole dilema will be solved

Dear Slevin, i think DUDE is you or at list the one who made you.Show some respect in your attitude.

To build an opinion about this members fair and honest buy/sell/price policy, take a look at the two custom Viscaria ST blades he bought from Baal recently, and how he offers one of them straight ahead:
