Black and grey size L Slingshot fins with carry mesh bag. Never been in water, retails for $195-200. Will trade for a recently serviced used regulator, 1st and 2nd stage. First consideration will be given to anyone in Massachusetts / New England.

In first picture one fin is in the bag; second picture is generic from the web.

He isn't asking "list" price for the fins, so IMHO that post isn't constructive.
From what I've heard about these fins they are pretty nice, they even converted a jet fin lover. Did these come from the treasure hunt?

This kind of thing drives me nuts, maybe a decent reg is worth more than 125$ to you but someone else might have a different value for it. A lot of people don't buy things from LP, so list price is something that some people still pay.

Do you walk around in regular life telling everyone they are overpaying or under valuing things? If you walked into my store and did that you'd be outside pretty quickly. Don't use the anonymousness of the internet to get away with socially unacceptable behavior. Let other people decide what a set of sling shot fins is worth on their own and don't troll around on people's threads telling the world they are over-charging. It isn't constructive or considerate, or even accurate in this case.

Just so you know, I'm pretty sure I know where these fins came from, and they were offered as one of three "grand prizes" along side a reg that was brand new. So in that context these were seen as equal to a reg.
 
Hey mark all im trying to say is if 4 example im looking for a pair of fins say these at 200.00 and a friend happens to tell me that the same pair is selling for 125.00 at store x, where r u going to buy them. I think i would be very appreciative that someone pointed this out to me where i saved 75.00 i never said he was overcharging, because they do sell at 200.00 from store x
 
Yes, they were one of three grand prizes at Bay State Council treasure hunt
 
Fwiw lp has them for 125.00

Buying Aqualung, Sunnto, apex, Seaquest or any other product from that family of companies from LP is a bad idea. Aqualung makes a point on their website to call them out as not being authorized. So I agree with Mark in this matter. Oh and BTW the MSRP for those fins are around $220. :D
 
Hey curious, all i said was lp selling fins for 125.00 i never mentioned buying reg from them.

I was just saying in general... I won't buy anything from them because of it. But this thread accidentally got jacked, so I'm off of it... sorry Mello-Yellow
