Hi guys,

Is it a good brush: a Badger 150?
I found it on Ebay for what I think a little price (79.90 euro's)

Cheers,

Jürgen

In America a Badger 150 can be had for about $60.00. The one you are looking at on e-bay is about $96.00. I would buy a Badger 150 but not for $96.00.

Regards,
Dean

The Badger 150 is a nice airbrush very versitle in that it has 3 different needle nozzle sizes to cover any type of spraying. I recommend the MED. size for model paints. It is a bottom feed style so you can use jars for aplications needing a lot of paint or use the little color cup for smaller areas and detail work. Dean, although $96 dollars american seams expensive in the US for this airbrush it is a very good price in Europe.

Good brush, bad price. Dean is right. $60 USD is pretty much the going rate. Worth every penny, but not a penny more. My 2 cents [2c]

Just be aware of shipping costs if you order from the US - I just tried to order the 150 from Bear air $62 US for the brush with all nozzles/needles and another $60+ US for postage. I still might order as the same brush bought locally is $400 AU (not a typo - $400)! Your E-bay buy might be a good deal but likely no warranty and you won't know how it has been looked after. Buyer beware!

I bought both my Omni 4000 and my Badger 100 from the US and had them shipped to the UK.

In each case the shipping and EU customs duties added around 100% to the purchase price, but even with this they both still worked out cheaper than buying in the UK.
