Best Answer

Tennis racquets are initially very expensive because consumers like to buy new models, which tend to cost more; in that respect, tennis racquets are similar to cars in the eyes of the consumer. Within a few months of the racquets' sales, the prices tend to come down. By the end of the tennis season (i.e., winter), the prices could be as low as 50% off the original price, if not lower, depending on the given make and model's popularity (i.e., the less popular, the more the price should fall). However, used, demonstration, and remainder racquets might be sold at substantially reduced prices by retailers who want to clear their shelves. For the record, the average tennis player should not need to spend more than $150 on a brand new racquet, and there are plenty of good models available for under $100.
