Hey Everyone,
I represent the Oakland University Club Water Polo team. We have 2 wall-mounted nets we may be looking to get rid of in the next 3-6 months. They are fixed/rigid nets that attach to the wall. They are slightly taller than regulation size, so we are looking to replace them with regulation sized floating nets.
The goals themselves work great, but could benefit from some screws being tightened. We had done some minor repair on the netting, holding it together with zip ties.
Brand new pricing on nets like this are ~$1500 each. We aren’t looking to sell them for that much, but we are looking to sell these for something, please send me an offer if interested. I can send pictures upon request.
If you represent a school that can demonstrate a certain level of financial need, we may be able to donate the nets, or reduce the pricing depending our administrative approval.
