Question on resell value

[Titan Vapes]

This thread is not an advertisement for another thread, this is a serious question that I'd love a response to.

I have has many provari's in the past and any time I have put them up for sale here they would sell within hours, this is 1-2 years ago mind you but still, and it was at a price very near MSRP. Now I have been trying to sell a Provari over the last couple days at a very very low price and I have not even got one bite this time around. Has something happened to Provari's name or is there something that is more popular now days?

Thank you for any help you can provide.

ProVape is having a clearance sale right now -- and those come with the warranty. That might be the problem. Maybe de-list and wait a few weeks?

P3 is coming out ... people are waiting.

not as many buyers right now.

Resale....

Just from one point of view.....mine and only mine. I'm not a big fan of the zombie look. I can't tell for sure if you have the "490" extension. That's a lot of stuff that goes with it that possibly potential buyers would not be interested in. Perhaps separating the 'Vari from the rest of the sale items might get you an offer. Just my $.02 worth.

I just looked at your thread and the question asked here confuses me. Your sale is for a package deal...maybe the slow sale is due to fact that there are many more rba's on the market the 1-2 years ago? Maybe its a holiday weekend and fewer folks are shopping?
Prior to the latest listing for blems on the Provape site, I was watching the classies daily looking for a backup Provari. Knowing that the blems come and go, I personally wasn't interested in a used Provari for 10-20$ off full retail without warranty. That's just me though. I don't plan to sell any of my Provari's, I bought them because I have faith in the fact that down the road, if/when the SHTF via FDA restrictions, I will have devices to vape my stockpile of nic with. Good luck with your sale thread.

Only the unicorns hold close to MSRP anymore. Too many options of quality and new "want to have" items out there to choose from.
Buy quality authentic items, with care and maintenance one may have a chance of recouping most of their original investment.

Sorry you are having a problem and hope you sell it soon. I have never sold anything there because I feel like the stuff I don't use since going to reoville are great backups. Good luck to ya.

Perfect storm..?

- ProVape sale
- Blems
- Upcoming P3
- Holiday weekend kick-off to summer


Also advertise on CraigsList or something?


Somebody will eventually grab it..

Good luck!

the ProVari still commands a VERY high and quick resale demand.
The ZAP, not so much - I think that is the issue - you need a buyer who wants your complete package - then it will be a value.

If you had it with a Kayfun...

Not to mention that there is a glut of ProVari's hitting the classifieds lately with so many people trying to come up with the cash to buy a Zenkote ProVari, Emerald Green, or the Dragon ProVari to replace their current ProVari(s).

I have sold 5 Provaris in the last couple of years....Mine were all near perfect/never dropped...
My Provaris sold within minutes, of course I always priced them fair...... Come on a Provari can be bought at any time directly from Provape brand new with a warranty... A Silver Provari with ext. cap and upgraded LED cost $191.90 new including shipping/warranty.... A second hand perfect Provari I sell @ $130.00.... That's a fair price, anyone who pays near retail for a used Provari/no warranty is an Idiot..

I myself bought a Provari 2.5 3 months ago and am still happy with it. But just recently I purchased a SX350 box mod, which I hope to get sooner rather than later. I like Provari don't get me wrong, but I want higher voltage and that is for sure I don't sub ohm, but I do have dual coil Zenith RBD that needs more power than Provari can provide. I myself will come back to Provari when they have upped there wattage to at least double it is now. I will buy from Provape again when they catch up to at least a DNA at 30 watts. I prefer more but at least 30 watts. Welp back to vaping on my Provari until this holiday is over and my SX350 35 watt mod ships

I reckon they hold around 70 to 80 percent of their msrp

As one who made my first Provari purchase yesterday, I can tell you that I checked the classified for about a week to see if there were any "good" deals available. After seeing the used versions, I decided on a blem direct from ProVape. I got a new unit, with the warranty and the accessory parts that I needed (batteries, charger, etc.) for only slightly more than I was seeing on the classified sections...

It took me a little while to sell a white mini blem that was only two weeks old. I think the two factors killing resale value right now are the fact that Provape has had a ton of blems over the last month. And people are waiting for the P3. The former being the biggest me thinks.

 

[amolson]

I know the blem's being $130 were a part of my purchase. Most of what I buy in life is used. Clothes, my car, books, electronics (ok, refurbs, but close), kitchen ware, pretty much anything and everything that isn't consumable, I buy used or refurbished. Even my TV was open box!

So when those popped up and I really, really needed a second mod, well, they were too close to the used price. Close enough to new, as usual.

They have been putting a lot of them out there lately. Before they would release a small batch of blem's & you wouldn't see more for months.
