Price Check

[Stcloudangler]

Dunno if this is the place for it, but my dad has a Marcum LX-5 that he is not happy with. He is the original owner for about 3 years now. I am a vexilar man, so I dunno what the going price would be for the unit. What is a starting sell price for this?

[Lusid]

Go on C-L and snoop around, figure out what new is.. mark down 35% give or take on condition

[Hookmaster]

I was going to say 30% off what he paid for it. Is it not working properly? I've had mine for 5 years and like it.

$325 would get you a quick sale.

$350 plus and it may be listed for awhile but you could get that price.

Either way get it listed ASAP, now is the time to sell.

[Stcloudangler]

The unit consistently reads 1.5 feet "wrong" from the true depth it should be showing. Other than that, he wants a more colorful easier to work unit. I figured he could go 300-325 but wanted to check with other fisherpeople

How does he know it's reading 1.5 ft. off?

How does he know it's reading 1.5 ft. off?

That was what I was wondering as well. Couldn't that be tranducer depth or even variations in water level? Not sure how you would even know that precisely it is "off".

[Stcloudangler]

We have measured with a tape, and put my vex-18 in the same hole to compare, it is consistent. I'm not making this up.

[kfk]

I'd look at possible reasons why it's reading 1.5 ft. off if it is? Did you ever give Marcum a call and talk to support? I would. Are you sure your Vex is correct? There has to be an explaination I'd think.

Where did he buy it from? I only ask because I bought a. Lx5 a few years ago had problems from the start was down for repairs twice then I just sold it. Some things work for some some things don't. Mine had a two or more second delay while jigging drove me crazy. Only had two months.

If you think the flasher is not working properly, then you shouldn't be selling it for a working flasher price...If its truly reading off then you better put that in the ad... I know I'd be [PoorWordUsage] if I bought the flasher and found out about this after...(I will be scanning the hsolist in your area to see if you put it in) Don't be one of them people

1. It's not my flasher and won't be selling it for him. 2. I will let him know he should call C S and see if there is anything wrong with it. 3. I don't think there is anything wrong with it, it is just not reading the bottom exactly right.

Thanks for the concern

Lol better watch out for the internet police. Officer dld24 is on patrol!

For a product whose most basic function is finding water depth, isn't this like the definition of 'something wrong with it'?
