Going price on used Meg?

Jimmer · 21st February 2008, 14:10

Well the title says it all, just curious what used Meg's are selling for, so I can get some idea if it's worth buying used when I'm ready.

From what I've seen the saving on new is marginal so personally I wouldn't bother.

I believe it all depends on which side of the pond you are on.

People over in Europe that have bought a new unit, "MIGHT" have paid VAT on the unit, therefor the original price that they have paid is substancial larger than the price the ISC sells it for, therefor it is easier for us to sell it closer to the list price.
As it is today, many Meg dealers have them in stock, so you do not have to wait anymore to get a new meg. So that should push the second hand price down. Sometimes when you get a second hand unit, you will also get lots surrounding stuff. You might get tank, backplate, wing, new cells, some lime etc. This should also be calculated into the price if you need to get that when buying a new unit.

Good luck

YMMV...

$6K USD for a stripped Apecs 2.01k a few years old, only O2 injection hose included. 1 new cell, 2 aged cells, 2/3 keg of sorb, Apeks inline shutoff for ADV, left overs from a spares kit, 3L bottles, tiger mounts, neoprene CLs, crotchstrap, extra batteries.

No regs, No plate, No wing, No other hoses, no other harness pieces.

Compare to...
Stripped:$8100
Cylinders:$500
Sorb:$60
Mounts:$232
Neo Upgrade: $396
Cells: -$110
Some hoses: -$150
= $9018

I did alright...

Seems like there are some deals to be had. I'll have to keep an eye open when I get closer to making a decision.
