Can never get my head round how this happens you could buy new cheaper.

Yes, but you can't buy them new unless your qualified

[Tree Man Tom]

Dont knock it, when my 200t is due for renewel i will chuck it on ebay and it will proabably make enough money to pay for a new one!

So they say, i wasnt asked for any evidence of training when buying mine, and that was through a well known arbtalk sponsor. I dont think thats what causes it.

Was going to say the same, I reckon it's more like people have sold a load of rubbish and have money in there paypal to burn.

 

And if that isn't the reason they need there heads looked at.

You need to be careful when buying off ebay, my mate has boought a couple of duff saws over the last few years and has paid good money for them.

As you say, you could nearly buy a new one for that price, and anyone buying an o20/ms200 must be wanting it to climb with etc, why else buy an ms200, therefore you would think they would know what its worth. At this rate we could all buy new ms200s & flog em on ebay and never work again.

I think it's good! Means my saws are a better investment than I thought; almost free. You get a good discount on a new one; chop it in after a year before it's a minger and some ebay sucker will pay top dollar for it.

Your 100% rite, get a look at what it went for I think we should all be looking at our older saws giving them a bit clean and banging them on the bay, i don't think there is anything out there just now making money like them.

 

The country most be full of old broken saws lying in sheds get them listed and turn them in to easy dough the buyers must be nuts.

On the same point of 'mark up' prices, I saw the 'Guide to Good Climbing Practice' being bid for and finally being bought for £32 plus postage! The same booklet can be bought new from the AA for a tenner!
