Okay, so I scour probrewer for used equipment, and I've viewed some equipment that haven't been broadly publicized. But nothing is impressing me just yet.
I don't know if used equipment is really worth it.
My thought process:
-- Tons of people are looking for used equipment, hoping for that amazing deal.
-- Few will find such a deal.
-- Most will end up bidding for stuff that's either piled up in a warehouse or needs decommissioning, both of which are expensive. The more bids, the more you pay.
-- the whole caveat emperor thing...you don't really know if you're getting quality stuff.
-- used equipment means you don't get any installation assistance
-- perhaps it's best to bag the quest and buy a new 7,10, 15 bbl whatever system.
I'm thinking that the quest for used equipment is pretty overrated -- that it's more about the hunt than reality.
Anyone want to challenge my thought process and conclusion? Is it often better to buy new?
(And does anyone have a used 15 - 20 bbl system for sale? )
TIA.
