Grip Items on Facebook Marketplace








Jason Wood is unloading some grip items.  I reached out regarding the Apollon's Axle which he had listed on Facebook Marketplace for $175 ($399 retail plus $50 shipping + $30ish tax).  He already had somebody coming by, but if his deal falls through, I am next up.  I did end up purchasing this for $175 (44% of retail).

I asked if he was selling anything else and he was letting go of his Barrel Strength Systems (BSS) stuff.  Flask (retail $139), Loading Pin (retail $36.50), Tips Tester (retail $109), DubHub (retail $65).  Total is $349 retail that he would sell for $175 (50% of retail).  Not quite as good a deal as the axle, but certainly a fair price.  I already have a flask, but can probably sell the spare to Kim for what I paid for it.

Then came to the icing on the cake.  Jason through in some extras and I am kind of glad I did not haggle on price.

BSS Competition Crossbar - Retail $139

FBBC Final Form Vertical Bar Base - Retail $85
FBBC 1" Head - Retail $45
FBBC 1.5" Head - Retail $50
FBBC 2" Head - Retail $55

Resin Ball (4.5" Diameter) - Grip Genie?
Hilt (2" Diameter, 5" long) - Grip Genie?

Working in all of the freebies, I am at $1123 (net 33% of retail).  Another perk is that everything is well seasoned after some time in Florida and then garage stored in Colorado.

I will keep the 1.5" FBBC head and the novel BSS items.  The rest I may offer to Jarrod and Kim.
