Zipp Vuka Bull--Interest?

Bump. Lots of lookers, but not even an inquiry? I thought it was priced pretty well???

The price being a bit steep might explain it. Most used items–including some almost new items–end up selling for 40-60% of the price on this forum–at least the stuff I’ve looked at seriously. You’re priced at the 80% mark for something that’s seen a year and a half of use. Now if you were including the brakes and clip ons as a package…

Price is just too far out there. You can get a brand new set of Syntace Stratos CX for less than that. I just got my third set of them for $110.

As suggested above, your price is insane. That said, I wouldn’t take a second hand carbon bar even for free…

In case you didn’t look I am not selling Syntace bars. Try to compare apples to apples. Given Zipp’s (and their next closest competitor Hed Vantage 8) original price is my asking price too high?

I understand hesitation in buying used carbon bars on one hand, but no one blinks when they buy a used bike with a carbon fork. I would stand behind these being free of any problems. There’s always ebay :slight_smile:

Think about it. Something used for 1.5 years is not going to sell for $50 off of retail price. Anybody that gets any discount form their local shop could get a new one for 10% off or about $300. Half of retail is closer to what you should expect if you want to sell them. I am not saying the to be an ass, it is what the 2nd hand market bears.

decrease the price to something under 200 if you want a shot at it. I would buy it for $125. But then again, i have no need for it.

The Syntace vs. Zipp Vuka Bull is an apples to apples comparison because they are equivalent products from different companies. Zipp may demand a higher premium when new, but for used products you have to be competitive with the other products that your buyers might buy instead.
