What is a used fl-20 worth?

[STORE500]

Hello, I am looking at buying a 1.5 year old used fl-20 ultra pack. Can someone tell me what that might be worth? Also, is it a bad idea to buy a used item, the guy says it is like new. Thanks for your help.

If it's in good condition, I'd say about 80% the value of the cheapest new FL-20 you could find. So around that $400 range give or take $20. If it has a dual or Tri beam transducer it would be worth a little more.

I think most will be around $400. You need to be careful when buying off C list or other sites. Make sure you test it before you agree to buy. Wouldn't be a bad idea to take it to a lake to be sure the ducer is working right.

I bought an FL18 on greg's list for a steal. When I bought it I actually met the guy at the launch, walked out about 100 yards and punched a hole, dropped the ducer in, screen lit up, money changed hands, everybody walked away happy.

Not to sound like a jerk, but it really comes down to what the seller is willing to take and a buyer feels comfortable paying. That will be different with everyone. Personally I would be hard pressed to pay $400 for something that is used, with no return policy, no warranty etc vs paying $500 for the same thing brand new with those things. To the next guy saving that $100 might have him feeling like he got the best deal around.

If you check it out, everything is to your liking, and YOU feel like your getting a fair, or even better yet a good deal, buy it up and put it to good use.

A good way to gauge general market value is to search places like HSO-Classifieds to get and see what the average seems to be.

I bought a Fl-20 ultrapack last year from a friend for 350. Included in the deal was a soft case and a summer transducer. I feel he sold it way too cheap for what I was getting. It was used 1/2 dozen times and he had the original box, manuals, box the charger came in, plastic the soft pac came in and the summer transducer was still in the original package. Try it out and make sure it works, check the transducer for any dings and if it is to your liking and price range buy it up. I still have my fl-8 slt that I bought used for 75 bucks 10 years ago and other then a bit of brush maintenance(followed the FM thread:) I did on it, it still works great.
