Brand New Arai RX7-GP JRea Replica - Size Medium - Price Drop: $800

**LonelyCupiD** · 16th July 2012, 11:11

Hi folks,

Absolute top of the line Arai Helmet Rx7-GP.
If you're looking at this ad then you'd know what kinda helmet this is

Absolutely stunning looking helmet especially in race rep graphic.

Size M

Brand new, never ridden in, still have box, instruction and warranty card (not yet registered).
Bought last week, but wife has been giving me all kinda nag ever since I took it out of the box.
(I've purchased 2 other helmets recently)

So the Baus has given me the ultimatum to get it out of her sight asap

Letting this go is a lost

However, my lost is your gain

Contact: 021 238 2903

Will post some pic up asap

Grow some nuts. How many pairs of shoes has she got?

**LonelyCupiD** · 16th July 2012, 11:58

Sigh... I completely get what u'r saying, but let's not go down this road my man.
It'd only end up in headache and more lost to us.

I figured it'd be a whole lot easier to sell the item since it's still brand new and surely, someone might just benefit from this whole ordeal.

I purchased mine two months ago in Wgtn from a dealer for $850 - there are defiitely some good deals going!

**LonelyCupiD** · 17th July 2012, 10:21

$850 for a brand new RX7-GP sounds like a bloody awesome deal !!
Especially when the best price I can get on a Quantum Oriental graphic was $1100
Staff discount ?

**Dodgy** · 17th July 2012, 11:52

No, I just rocked up and asked nicely. Another dealer had a sale on, which is a good time to start asking for price checks.

Apparently there is a bit of a price battle in place in Wgtn at the moment regarding Pirelli - it certainy pays to ring around for a good price, and then ring around again for a final price

It is an excellent helmet, so I would recommend your helmet to anyone who is considering it.

**LonelyCupiD** · 17th July 2012, 12:30

Thank you!

It is indeed an outstanding helmet in every aspect.
Feels balance, plush and comfortable, with ultra wide visibility.

Can't really comment on the noise, air flow and aerodynamic probability as I'm not taking it on the road, but I'm sure they'r all superb too.

Gimme a buzz and I might be able to drop the $$$ a tiny bit to get this all behind me and not having to look at it in despair everyday.

Don't worry - all us married guys are. Currently we are using you to justify slightly less crazy purchases...

Thanks....

**LonelyCupiD** · 17th July 2012, 13:20

You're welcome.
I'm glad it benefits some one in some way.

To my surprise, apparently you can twist dealers' arms to get these lids for between $900 - $1,000
This is to my detriment as I quite stupidly only ask for a couple of hundreds dollars off from the RRP.

So I've been forced to lower my sell price further

You can pick this up from me for $800

021 2382 903

It is still a brand new helmet, has not been taken on the road, still with box, warranty and everything.
The only thing I managed to do was to play around with it in the living room for a lil bit.

I will start listing on trademe tomorrow, but much prefer to sell it to you forum guys

You're a retailer?
So you're saying it'd cost you more than 900 to get one in ur store?

Well,I'll up my trademe list price, and I'll leave that $800 price just for the forum peeps then.
An absolutely bargain @ $800 by the sound of things

Thanks for telling me.
