Used reg online (not classifieds)

[TDiddy]

Anyone have experience buying used gear from a place like Leisurepro or DRIS? I found one that is available used for about $110 less than new. Rated E+, and they define E as "Excellent - Shows normal wear, might have minor scratches"

I would think it's safe to say that you're good to go from those distributors...

Those, as well as @beaverdivers would seem to have a reliable used equipment market.

I picked up my newest regs from Leisurepro, it was a while ago, but the Magnum reg set and Blizzard first have worked flawlessly. I would look there first if I was in the market.

I’ve got gear from both......very safe.

DRIS is a brick and mortar local dive shop that does a lot of reg repair. Why would buying from them be an issue?

You have a much better way with words than I. Thanks for making my post unnecessary.

Thanks though I'm unclear as to why your answer became unnecessary? But probably best not to answer my question so as to avoid this thread potentially getting sideways.

OP, I’m not sure what you were looking at getting used from DRIS, but if it was a reg set that had been in their rental fleet, it most likely had been gone over before being posted for sale. Better idea than getting something off eBay when you don’t know the condition it’s in.
