I have 3 days to bid on a 2nd hand Swarovski lrf unit that is 2 years old and I believe has had commercial hunting guide use in the alpine areas of New Zealand.Do these things have any known flaws after heavy usage or any thing I should be aware of before buying 2nd hand ?Some advice would be appreciated .cheers
Re: 2nd hand swaro lrf
What kind of warranty does Swaro offer is the question I'd be wanting answered.

Re: 2nd hand swaro lrf
It doesnt have one .The person is selling it on line 2nd hand ind is under no obligation to give a warranty-only his word that they work fine .I have to say most hunters here seem pretty straight up but I am expecting to pay at least $1000 if not a tad more .A new lrf swaro here is $2300

Re: 2nd hand swaro lrf
I purchased mine used and have not had any problems- may not have seen as much use as the one you are looking at. For the prices you are saying they cost over there you could make a trip here and buy one and bascically have a free trip. You can buy used ones from SWFA for $800- never had a problem with anything I have purchased from them.

I would get ahold of Doug at Camera Land he is a member here on the Hide and a great guy. You can find his post in the commercial section.

Hydro was asking if Swarovski has a transferable warranty with the LRF not if the person selling it is giving you a warranty. I would find that out too as if they transfer the warranty then there's nothing to worry about as they would fix it.

Re: 2nd hand swaro lrf
thanks guys for posting .I dont know how long Swaro have a guarantee for especially with 2nd hand goods 2 or more years old as I believe these to be .I will try to find the importer here and ask- I was really trying to find out if lasers went after alot of use -after that theres only the glass to worry about I suppose but thats what I dont know.Ill look up Daves ads also ---here in NZ if you import anything over 200nz dollars you get taxed 10.5 and have to pay other import duty-our $ is only 61cents US SO importing 2nd hand doesnt always work out real cheap--the govt just keeps squeezing
