When shopping for a treadmill, most people are looking for the greatest value. But, what value to you really get when you buy a used treadmill?
Many times, those that previoulsy purchased fitness equipment thanks to a new years resolution (for example), and had great intentions on using it – but found that after the initial post-purchase excitement, ended up stashing that new treadmill in their basement or garage. Then, finding they didn’t really use it, they look to either sell or discard it.
That’s why you often see a surge of nearly used fitness equipment such as treadmills for sale in winter or spring. So, if you have been thinking about starting or expanding your home gym, it may be tempting to consider buying one of these used treadmills for sale, especially if you think you can get a good deal from someone eager to just get this machine out of their way.
Cheap isn’t always smart
Unfortunately, many times when you purchase used fitness equipment, “you get what you paid for”. What starts out seeming like a great bargin, becomes something else if you start having issues you didn’t plan on encountering.
When you purchase a used treadmill, how do you know how it’s been maintained? Was it serviced and repaired properly? What do you do when that treadmill you purchased off of Craigslist turns out to be broken and in need of repair? Now you either have to pay far more than you had planned on to repair it, or you end up having to try to sell it – more than likely at a loss.
And, how do you know how much lifespan is left in the treadmill? Given that the current owner is probably not very eager to share what issues or problems it may have, you’re gambling on their honesty to make your purchase.
But – there’s a better way. Actually, two ways. You can purchase new from a trusted retailer like Fitness 4 Home Superstore.
