4-5" NTT Datnoid

[888fish]

Been out of the Datnoid game for a couple of years.

Until today.

Paid $100 for a 4" NTT (slightly wider bars), from a LFS that generally has cheap/fair prices.

--Did I overpay by today's market?

Thick bars on that thinbar,what does it eat?

 

[888fish]

Nah, MAYBE slightly wider bars than the typical thin bars on a NTT. Not sure what it is eating, we'll see. Never had trouble pellets feeding the other 4 species of Datnoids in the past. Man, I remember buying 3" NTTs for $30 from this same LFS about 3-4 yrs ago. Damn!

I was just saying that the bars were thick for an NTT.

Yeah. Extra $70 for +2mm thicker bars.

 

[FunWow!]

I'd say the price was on the high end but not so bad if you really like it.

I'll say it, Yes you over paid! $50 would have been a normal price, but now days NTT price been going up from mfkers and LFS. I got two
7" from a buddy for $75 each last year I guess they might be cheaper on the east coast than west.

I haven't even seen any thinbars in any shops here in quite some time.

Thanks for the honesty. Yeah, when I was at the shop I looked up a July 2016 stock list from Wes that had these for $50. So I just factored in the shipping costs since I never see these for sale at LFS anymore, and just bought it.
