This why I don't buy used,

I have heard far too many stories about used goods misrepresented and sold for new price, only to turn out to be junk.

I think that some people prey on the newbs... sell them stuff that has been ridden hard and put away wet, for prices that if they kicked in a few bucks more you could get NIB.

It is buyer beware.. though... If you chose to buy used...there is usually a reason someone is trying to off load the goods, and it is unlikely they will tell you.

buy new from a reputable dealer.. then at least if it goes south you may have some recourse to recover.
