smeese Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 I am looking into a used Marcum LX5 and want to get one as a backup. I found one that was new last year and includes the soft case, and two extra batteries that are both new. What would be a fair price to pay for this? I know they hold their value well, I am buying it from a friend and want to give him what it is worth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deitz Dittrich Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 You can find new ones for around $500... You figure the batteries for about $20... So, not sure what I would pay for a new/used one? Offer $425? Up to you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jltimm Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 Fleet had 'em on sale a couple weeks ago for $450. Reeds has them now for $499 which includes a summer transducer. I've been thinking about moving up from my LX 3 to the LX 5, but haven't tried to sell the LX 3 yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smeese Posted February 13, 2009 Author Share Posted February 13, 2009 Can you buy the boat transducers seperate? Should I use the Marcum in the boat or my FL-20? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pow & legend Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 I would recommend the Fl-20 on the boat and the LX-5 for ice fishing. both are good units and its nice to have an option like that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smeese Posted February 13, 2009 Author Share Posted February 13, 2009 I guess it was and LX-3tc Should that vary my opinion if he wants 350? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deitz Dittrich Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 Might be a tad high?... THey are $399 new..?.. Up to you, the LX-3 is a very nice unit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pow & legend Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 yeah i agree with Deitz, thats a little high around $300 would be a fair price Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
