Buying used apex gear, would you do it again?

[Houston03]

I was recently able to get a Neptune Apex A3 due to being given points during BRS giveaway. I want to add a few things like DOS, Trident, ATK, and other things. There are a a few of them available local to me that are used for a discounted price but I am a little bit weary being they are used. If you have bought used Neptune gear have you had any issues? Would you do it again? Thank you in advance.

Anything that doesn't have mechanical parts is good enough used. Except for older EB832s.
Anything that has motors/pumps in them you'd need to be prepared to service at some point as they do wear out.

Your list, I would buy the Trident and DOS used as they can and will need service, guessing the savings you're probably going to get you could grab some spare heads and agents. I would buy the ATK new, the optical sensors eventually go back and so does PMUP which are roughly $110 if you need to replace all three.

Cool thanks for info, do you keep spare pumps/motors for any of your apex gear handy at all times?

Awesome thank you for some insight, I’m probably going to pick up the used stuff and then use the savings to pick up some extra heads/pumps

Well; spare parts may be a bit of a stretch- I do have a small selection of things I havent gotten around to install yet Missus is loosing her patience..
