Looking for a used card reader.

Post by Xsquid » February 19th, 2014, 3:51 pm

Hi, to help folks out that I row with Im looking to buy a used card reader. I'd usually go buy a new one since its only 40 bucks on the Concept2 site but this isnt for me. I am just trying to help some fellow rowers out that are using data cards at the moment. Obviously I'll pay shipping to. So if you have a working, good priced card reader and would like to sell it please contact me. Thanks.

You don't need an external card reader. You can connect a laptop to the PM to get the data off of log cards.

If you have a bunch of fellow rowers though it would be quite inexpensive per person to chip in and just buy a new card reader.

Hmmm...looks like you should check eBay if you're set on a card reader.

Oh and as far as Getting them to chip in, it's more of a surprise gift than favor.
