So, as a newbie still slightly unfamiliar with it all, what would be the best way to get your hands on a bro cap?
Fastest way would probably be to post a classifieds ad on MechMarket saying you're willing to buy a brocap for $1000
Otherwise wait for the next Bro sale like most normal people
Seems a bit steep
They come up for sale on the secondary market very rarely, but they do. Keep your ear to the ground, watch Bro's sale thread, refresh the Classifieds here and /r/mechmarket on reddit, and you'll find one.
People should not flip bro caps, but they do, so before you buy, regardless of the temptation, check with artisan veterans whether the price is fair, albeit a little inflated.
I paid $80 for my first Bro, and still have it. But you'll pay around $40 from a sale, there's one happening on Monday, check out the bro official sale thread.
Good luck Bro!
Edit: bro sale date is a strong assumption from one of the last pics bro posted on his sale thread.
