Well its virtually new in terms of usage so that's the big selling point. But its 7 years old so it all depends on how/where its been stored. Stuff deteriorates a bit even if not used - rubbers go brittle, grease goes hard, some stuff might rust. Just depends how new looking it is. C2 now sells new ones for £990. Its fairly common knowledge that you can get £100 off if you take one home from a Competition Venue - that would have even less usage that yours and have a C2 warranty. Take a look on scam-bay and see what others are asking - then price yours below for a quick sale, or above if you've got time to wait. I've not checked the market for a few years now, but my guess would be £600....

Nice! Thank you so much for the detailed response! Seems nobody really has one around my area for sale but further out people are trying for $800 but not sure if they're able to get that amount. Thanks again!

During covid lockdowns, used sold for as much as new. Prices have fallen a bit but it is really difficult to say how much. As noted, the machine you're interested in is practically new. Is it a PM3? I don't recall when PM5 came out, but I think it was after that. If PM3 you will not be able to use bluetooth apps or HRM. That upgrade is nearly $US 200.

To compare to new you need to consider shipping & tax.

To clarify, you won't be able to use Bluetooth HRM. There is a $25 gymling HRM receiver you can buy for PM3. That'll work with all Polar transmitters, and pre-Bluetooth versions of others.

Ohhh, yes, I forgot to put which monitor in the title but it's PM5.
