New or Used MP40

ctripi · 02/14/2011, 12:00 PM

If money didn't matter.....would you buy a used MP40 or new one?

If money kind of mattered, would your opinion change?

Well of course if $$ isn't an issue who doesn't want brand new stuff w/ a solid warranty.
However being on a budget myself I have 2 used ones on my tank, one had a wet side go bad, luckily for me they covered it.

New is always better for the warranty. The money saved for a used one wont be worth it when it breaks after a couple months.

Don't buy a used one.... if you buy used, buy a tunze. Worn MP40's are a headache.

Depends on who you buy it from imo. I've bought used MP 40 from a fellow local reefer who was relocating out of the area. Pump works fine.
