Just curious what the average price for a good set of BRW. Most of what I saw at ASIA was between $500 and $800.

thanks
Richard

I would say $500 is for the low end of the spectrum. Average decent set goes for $800 to $900 with premium (or Imperial as they call it in Brazil) can go from $1300 and up.

Brazilian isn't cheap. Realistically if you want good stock $800 on up. You can get lucky on some lower cost sets but again that is a shot in the dark. It is not uncommon to pay $1500 for premium grade.
