Used equipment

[Native dude]

I think it’s funny how when growing at the home became legal in many states, people thought they would just grow their own! I admit I was one of them. This is the funny part! Then, when people spent tons of money on high tech equipment designed to yield maximum results with no special skills they realized it wasn’t that easy and it was a challenge. Now, as I page through Marketplace I see tons of growing equipment for sale with the sellers stating they only used it once. The problem is in most cases they want to recover their investment entirely! So I have a question, what is a fair price for an undocumented grow light? No reciept, just the sellers words. 30% - 50% - 75%?

Depends how it item looks - you should know from a picture if that’s even close to been true. I see it with other stuff where they say used once but looks like they were ridden hard and put away wet. also, if you have enough information I look up how old that version of that thing. That also, is a tell. if it was put out 5 years or more ago, I suspect to the once use.

Take a par meter with you, plug the thing in, take a reading and see how close it is to what the manufactures chart says. If it's within 10% 60-75% is fair, if it's less than 10% of original output 50% or less it's current new price.
