After biting the bullet and buying a cube time to pare back on my ballhead collection.
First up
Gitzo GH2780 - this is part of Gitzo's new line of heads. They hold a tremendous amount of weight for their size. In the spirit of this site, I just bought this head from Guy when I went to Arizona a few weeks ago (he went up one model to hold his MF gear a bit sturdier).
Retails new at B&H for $275 mine has a couple of scrapes but is in perfect working order. It does not have Gitzo's quick release system which is good because some plates don't fit on their system. It does rotate at the bottom and can be used for panos. Shipped including Paypal $200

You can see a small scrape on the knurled edge
Look also where it says tilt there is a scrape there
Next up is a BH-40 from Really Right Stuff. This does have a quick release clamp. This is a great head and is in great shape New it retails for $375. Shipped including Paypal $240 (everything is closed so no can of air to get rid of the dust that shows up in pictures LOL)
