OOAK Table Tennis Forum

Hello,

Your comments on this are appreciated. I have an opportunity to purchase the below two paddles (used but in great condition) for a good price, I think.

I am at best an intermediate player, what level skill set is needed to make good use of them?

Assuming they are stored at room temp, If I don’t use them for a year or two, would the blades and particularly rubber deteriorate significantly?

What would be a good price for both of them?

Paddle1: Nittaku Basaltec Outer 3D with Andro Rasant Grip on both sides.
Paddle 2: Butterfly Mizutani Jun ZLC Flared, no rubber.

Thanks so much for your time!

Butterfly Mizutani has a good resale value. 75% from a mint cost is a good bet. You can try to set a high initial price and slowly lower it until you found a buyer.

As for Nittaku blade and rubbers. I doubt you can sell this blade profitably. You can try to sell rubbers separately. I suggest to do it fast and do not expect a price higher then 50-60% of new.

No reason to hold equipment for future use. Play with this racket for fun now or sell it separately now. Table tennis equipment does not become more expensive with years.
