If you’re looking for a Wing Chun wooden dummy for sale, here’s a tip on how to pick up a bargain. I found a few wooden dummies for my school at a bargain price using this very strategy.
First head over to eBay and type “wooden dummy” into the search bar. Then click on the advanced search option in the top right hand side of the website.
Click on the option for collection in person and enter the maximum distance you’re prepared to travel to collect the dummy. I actually found a nice Pagoda wooden dummy on eBay and the seller was offering delivery. So I paid an extra £50 for him to deliver it for me.
Items for collection only are typically much cheaper as well as second hand (used) dummies. Don’t worry if you don’t see a dummy in your area straight away. You can sign up for email alerts so when someone lists an item which matches, you’ll get notified by email. Click on “save this search” at the top of the page and select the option for an email alert.
Wing Chun Wooden Dummy For Sale – Bidding
It’s worth waiting for a bargain using this approach. You can also look on Gumtree.co.uk for second hand dummies too. But I’ve found a few dummies I bought for my school using the email alerts on eBay. Once you find a dummy which is within your preferred location, you can put a bid in for it.
It’s worth using a website called auctionsniper.com to put your bid in at the very last second here. If you bid too early, you risk pushing up the price and entering into a bidding war. Just keep in mind the price usually goes up with other bidders at the last moment. So place your maximum bid with Auctionsniper and it’ll do the rest.
Should your bid be too low, you’ll lose the auction, but if you win, your winning bid can be much less than your maximum. Auction Sniper bids up to your maximum bid at the last few seconds of the auction. This is great to grab a bargain because it avoids pushing up the price too early and notifying other bidders of your interest. They can’t then react in time to put in a counter bid. It’s a bit like the Wing Chun punch – you don’t see it coming!
Don’t forget to check out this website while you’re here for Wing Chun classes in the Leeds and Bradford areas. Private classes are also offered in Leeds. Happy bidding!
