All of this talk about buying from your LDS or online store, but no one mentioned buying from a private party or ebay. How many people get certified, then get talked into buying their own equipment right away. Only to quit diving in a year. So there is some equipment out there that is almost brand new. It can be bought cheaply, but no warrenty. As a matter of fact I just purchased a Scuba pro BCD and regulator on ebay. I saved about $450.00. But now I want to take it into my LDS and see about getting it serviced before I use it. If they give me a hard time about it I will go somewhere else and buy my wife's equipment. I saved some money on my gear but I will just use that to get good equipment for the wife and hopefully keep our LDS happy.
When we talked to our LDS about getting equipment, he would not budge on the price, or what equipment came with the package. He offered no added incentives.I just my have to stop in to see Mike at Dive right in Scuba since it is close to home.
