Used tools, whats for sale?

February 14th, 2022, 21:29

I'm looking to start my lab ideally with used tools, has anyone got a used rapidspar, deepspar USB stabiliser or PC 3000 flash for sale currently? Or suggestions where to look.

Thanks for taking the time to read this

Most of the licensing prevents resale but they show up here now and then, normally the condition for transfer is to take out 1 year support contact. By the time you've done that second hand equipment is only fractionally cheaper.

Setting a lab up is a huge investment in both time and money made worse over here as everything always carries a premium. I've posted before that over 65% of recoveries I do could be done with tools/software costing less than 200GBP. My PC3K Flash which was just over 5K GBP has only been out of it's box once since April 2021.

Thanks for the reply,
I do understand what you are saying and maybe I will just purchase some of the tools new. I know rapidspar may be basic but with the full kit inc addons, it gives me scope to get more devices on my desk. They just don't seem to have updated the software for a while. I kinda fancy either PC3000 basic or Rusolut VNR basic for now, I have cash for products but not the import duty / VAT

Thanks again from Nat

If you are still looking for PC3000 Flash (and some related accessories such as a spider board) please let me know. I will post it here as its own topic within a few days if you aren't interested.
