Ganbatte Posted December 10, 2020 Share Posted December 10, 2020 So, another pilot and I are structuring a deal: He wants a new frame (larger hoop), so what we're looking at is he buys the new frame, I buy his old one. We each have engines and harness, so this is just a frame in play. Also they're the same model, just different variations. His is only a few months old, no detectable damage, good condition. It doesn't seem reasonable to pay full retail for used gear, but this is also a friendly deal; neither is trying to take advantage of the other. So I expect some discount from new price, but since I'm not trying to skin him, I'm undecided what sort of terms to push for. So I'm soliciting the crowd's opinions: What percentage discount would *you* think was fair to both parties? Thanks in advance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyB Posted December 10, 2020 Share Posted December 10, 2020 I never pay more than 2/3 for second hand, simply because it no longer has any manufacturers warranty (warranties are not transferable). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ganbatte Posted December 10, 2020 Author Share Posted December 10, 2020 That's a point, but does a frame have any warranty exposure? I agree re an engine, but frame? They're pretty much fine until we break em, which doesn't justify a warranty claim, yes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julien4788 Posted December 20, 2020 Share Posted December 20, 2020 it's a very good question i'd agree with Andy unless it's pristine condition maybe you could buy it 3/4 of the price? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ganbatte Posted December 21, 2020 Author Share Posted December 21, 2020 2/3 or 3/4 does sound fair, thanks, guys! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
