I personally do not know of a certain site, they are retail and I am sure you bought retail. If trying to sell engines, lamps, pumps and tanks that are used, any Pawn Shop would give people 1/10th of the current value, that is if they are accepting the item in the first place.
Your used lamp, might or might not work at all, it might fire 1 time and then never again. Would you replace the lamp if that happened?
I am just saying that it is a risk a person has to take on a used lamp or even a new lamp from a NON-store person, off the net. There lies the problem with trying to get 5-10 bucks less for an item that is guarentteed from a store and that is why you paid the $89-98 or whatever. Some of that money goes to business expense to cover loss,such as Lamps that are broken in shipping and or will not fire at all.
I of course do not say that your lamp is nothing but perfect and you should get whatever you can for the lamp. It is a buyers market at present, but good luck to you with all you can get for it.
Back to the Link?
I think you are putting way to much time into asking and searching sites for costs and all, it is about risk and open market facts, I again go back to the Pawn Shop idea of buying peoples things. Then assume the risk and stock the items for 1/10th the cost they can get for the items we/people sell them.
I personally was talking about a few people at shops that I know and a few others that are selling these same lamps for the 10-20-25 bucks less than the other guys. They buy them in bulk and get a major reduced price and they seel them as LOSS Leaders, becasue of repeat business and sell them to friends and loyal clients/customers at the cost they get them for or they make $5-10 and that all.
I would think on keeping or if you want to move it out, drop the price a bit.
I personally have bought used lamps for less than half on E-Bay, time and time again and even New lamps and tubes for half price.
Good luck.
Not trying to lecture you, just my thoughts, I hope it helps.
No hard feeling, I hope.
Best regards,
Mike
