I like these Stiga blades even with the price tag. If I still play that much defense I would get this
New Stiga ULF Tickan Carlsson defensive wood for $110:

STIGA's Table Tennis Anniversary Blades $110 to start (notice the reserve price):

I know someone in this forum who can afford this!!!

(I think I know the seller; he is the one with the oldstiga.hu website)

That is a huge prize.

That is a really huge price on the Stiga. But I guess it is a real collectable for such a high price.

Darn. One reason I don't like Ebay auction is the bidding/action is fixed. As you can see the following bidding of a Butterfly kenny Style. The seller has friends that bid up the item without any other bidders. I have seen this blade before--and believe one of our forumer has one--and was interested until some bidders push up the price for no good reasons.

Yes, some of the bidding on ebay is fixed. As shown by ejunkie, the seller friend(s) bid the item higher even though there was no other bidder bidding the item. (the same person bid at one price and later bid at a higher price even when there is no one bidding against him).

[ejunkie]

This old Stiga Mark V was selling for dirt cheap for just $40. Could have cost you $200 to find one. I took some time to think about it and it was gone. From starting to sold just 25 mins!

Well, opportunity only strikes once, as the saying goes.
