The Oliver RS-Thunderbird badminton racket is currently being offered for sale on the online marketplace platform Marktplaats, according to a recent listing. The equipment, which comes with an included carrying case, is described by the seller as being in a used condition but still functional for continued play.
Condition and Specifications of the RS-Thunderbird
The racket is currently strung and ready for use. While the listing notes the item is “used,” the seller indicates that it remains in a state suitable for many more rounds of badminton. The RS-Thunderbird is a known model within the Oliver brand lineup, though specific technical specifications such as weight, balance, or string tension were not detailed in the advertisement.
Purchase Terms and Pricing Logistics
The seller has requested that interested buyers submit bids directly through the platform. The listing explicitly states that all bids are exclusive of shipping costs. Regarding the communication process, the seller noted that they manage a high volume of advertisements daily and may not respond to every inquiry, particularly those involving bids deemed significantly lower than the expected value. The seller has expressed an intent to provide counter-proposals when possible but cautioned that low-ball offers will not receive a response.
Shipping and Local Collection Options
Potential buyers have two primary methods for acquiring the racket: shipping or local pickup. For shipping, the seller prioritizes compact packaging to minimize costs, utilizing standard letterbox shipping when feasible. If the package dimensions exceed these limits, the seller offers shipping to a home address for 6.00 EUR or to a local collection point for 5.25 EUR. International shipping is also available upon request.
For those opting to collect the item in person, the seller clarified that there is no physical showroom or fixed retail location. Pickups are conducted strictly by appointment for pre-arranged transactions. The seller maintains that items are kept in storage and are not available for inspection or immediate purchase at the door. Payment options for local pickup are limited to cash or digital payment requests. The seller also noted that if a buyer is dissatisfied with the condition of the racket upon inspection during the pickup appointment, the sale can be canceled on-site.
Added Value and Insurance Policies
To provide additional security for the shipment of sports equipment, the seller offers an optional insurance service for fragile or high-value items for an additional fee of 1.50 EUR. Prospective buyers are also encouraged to review the seller’s other active listings to potentially combine shipments and reduce overall delivery costs.
