I was wondering if people can give me idea of what a fair price would be for radikal bushings?
I found a whole bunch (2 clear, two red, two green and three blue) and have very little use for them. I was going to try selling them but have no idea what to ask for them. I saw one sinlge red one for sale for $20 but that sounds like a gouging to me. Are they really going for that much?
i think that's completely rediculous, $20 for one.
back when they were sold by rad they were 2.50 or something ea
i suppose a fair price for one now would be between 2.50 and 5, maybe 7 if you were feeling like a capitalist
^^^ Here's the guy who was trying to sell a red for $20. (I really hope you didn't sell that to anyone either...)
Let's see... a set of used JimZs will sell for around $15, thats $3.75 PER BUSHING. And a pair of used Stims will sell for probably around $15 too and thats $7.50 PER BUSHING. The Stims haven't been made in year, and there is no plan to remake them, also they are considered the best bush ever made by many people. Now Radikals on the other hand are great bushings. Hell you can still buy greens and blacks for a couple bucks a piece (I think) and sold for $5 a pair back a couple years ago. ALSO Radikal is still planning on making bushings, it may take a lot more time, but they are still planning on making more eventually and will probably be very similar or better then. You can also make Abec11 bushings in whatever shape or duro you want for about $2.50 or $3 a piece.
I thought about this alot today. I read this post last night while doing a search. Bottom line is that no one, and I mean no one has made a bushing that compares to the the Radikal bushings. I know they were made by kryptonics, I have quite a few of them. Some I have shaved. The clears, reds and blues are the ones that are most sought after. I am not putting down any ones bushings. But these babies have been around for a couple of years, had plenty of R+D and are no strangers to the podium. Now are they worth 20$ a bushing. Well that is totally up to the individual. How bad do you want them. Here is hoping that some one puts out some bushings that can compare to the quality of the Radikal bushings soon. Shaved Stimulators work well and the Khiro Barrels are also nice, white and orange. In the mean time I guess it is a matter of wait and see . Your Amigo Eddy Texas Outlaws/Pavel Skates
