Just wanted to give a FYI the grasshopper bit can be bought brand new from pro choice for $49.99! I was high bidder on one Facebook page bit auction and retracted my bid because I was not paying $170 for a bit I can buy new for a quarter of the price!

 Were you banned, as per the rules? Why would you bid on something that you had no intention in following thru with?

I was planning on buying it until I saw where pro choice had it back on the market today! Not going to pay $170 when I can get it for $50 and know one else should either!

I thought you had already bought one or maybe even a couple of the original 7" Grasshopper bits since you have bid on several of them.

I have bought a couple and only one on the auction site but I'm not going to have to pay a lot of money anymore for them! Just placed a big order at pro choice!

It's funny on the Facebook auction site "bit auction" people must have noticed that I bid on the grasshoppers so when they wanted to sell theirs they would message me and I would buy them with out them ever posting on the auction site:) I have bought a lot of bits from people wanting to sell without the hassle- don't think I will miss the bit auction on Facebook:)

And you're proud of this?  Ever heard the saying " NO ALLEY TRADING" ? 

So I guess you were booted..... lol, figures.

Someone messages me to see if I want to buy something and that's alley trading? Don't think so!

What? Yes- I contacted the bit auction admin and told them I wanted to retract my bid for $170 when I can buy the bit new for $49.99 and I told them that I did not want to be kicked off but that is the rule and I'm ok with that! It does suck for the gal selling the bit and for the person buying it for that kind of money - I think the bit auction admin should look at what they could do to help both buyer and seller!

No auction looks at finding the buyer a better deal. Highest bidder wins, and buyer beware, I thought those were the rules when participating in any auction

Is this it?Β 

Yes :)Β 

That's the old, discontinued version. Apparently the new version is now silver instead of brown and has a new name. It's the Derby bit instead of the Grasshopper.

I wonder if Charmayne takes her bit styles and designs with  her to Reinsman or does Pro Choice get to keep them?

I have no idea. I would guess the designs are the property of the manufacturer.
