So I am looking for a used Provari but I am having a hard time determining what I should pay for one. I know they hold their value but I also don't want to get taken. Any advice on how much to pay? Thanks in advance, Sean

Of course it would depend which finish you were looking for and the blue led screen is going to go for more dollars than the standard red since the blue was limited production and you can't buy it new at least at the moment. I personally wouldn't give anything more than say 50.00 less than what I could get one new but good luck with that as I believe most get at or close what they paid for it.....just my thoughts as I've considered myself. I'd probably give 150-160 for used satin or above with red led and extension cap as it runs an xtra 19.95 and a couple AW IMR 18650's or similar configuration....excellent condition of course.

That it is....just a ballpark.....keep your eyes wide open in the buy sell trade as you may find one and actually you can look in the sold items and actually see what they go for I believe.....good luck....
Sadly I think purchasing used on this site, is a sellers market. They will charge about 10-30( not often)% less then what they paid. At that price I think for the warranty, you should purchase new. If you see one for $50 less it is a great deal on this forum. Until it becomes a buyers market( we stop paying higher prices on easily available products) the market here isn't going to change.
I watch the classified a lot but when a provari shows up and about $30 less it is gone fast.

Ditto. Since it is electronic, I would want the warranty. Anything could happen and I would have no idea how to fix it.
I don't spend much time in the Classifieds here, but when I have seen Provari's they are very close to new price, yet still sale quickly. I would just get new myself, that way I know what I did and could explain it to Provape when it doesn't work right.
I have bought all five of my ProVaris from ECF members in the classifieds. I have always paid less than the "new" price, but not much. All of them have been in excellent condition. I have been very satisfied with each purchase.
I entered into each deal with my eyes open, knowing if there were any problems I would probably have no recourse.
I guess that if you want something badly enough and it arrives exactly as advertised and you paid the asking price, then you can't be taken.

When it is so close to the asking price of a new, what made you want to purchase used? Just curious, since I find the classified prices so high.
I'm in agreement about buying new, but as I live in the same state they are made in they want me to pay the sales tax at the rate they charge up where they are located OMG 9.5% so if I do buy one it tacks on an extra $24 ugh good thing you get free shipping.
of course the $24 figure is based on buying a kit, batt extension, and one 18650 batt

I'm happy that I bought new.. the warranty is where it's at. I just bought a Reo grand though on the classies for close to retail. Reason being they are hard as hell to get. I heard once they hit the site forget about it. Gone in twenty minutes. The grand is all mechanical very hard to break. There is a legend some dude drove over one with his truck and it is still going lol. One thing that still irks me is the GG's. They are beautiful and rare but i couldnt bring myself to sell it more than what I payed for it. It's used for gods sakes. It isn't an autographed Babe Ruth baseball.
What in the hell is "nasal snuff"?^^^
Yeah buy new, you get a warranty for paying extra, especially when more often than not you will be paying within $20 of retail.

I say buy new, but when I sell my Provari for a new one I may change my opinion! LOL!
I don't understand why you would pay 140.00 for used when you can order a new one from Provape for 159.00
I don't understand it either, but some people just like to get "a deal" and not pay full price. Nothing wrong with that, just different priorities.
I think when people sell their used ones they often include batteries, a charger and the extension cap. The one on their site that sells for $159.99 is a silver one and that's all you get. No batteries, no charger, no extension cap. Even just getting it in black would add $10 to the price ^^
Edit: That said, I have no idea why anyone would ever sell their Provari
The new SET cost around $240.00 (the black with Blue cost around $270.00) and not $150.00 because it includes the batteries and all this good stuff, so $150.00 for the set is really a good deal.
I bought one of the black satin provaris with the blue led and recently sold it and got exactly what I paid, ordinarily I would have sold it for less, but being as they were not making the blue leds anymore, I figured it warranted what I paid, fact is, I could have gotten more for it. I know that only because I was offered everything under the sun as a trade, everything from a Darwin, which was offered the day after I sold it, damn, to peoples entire vape stash, lol.
