Guys let me know what you think. I can get a Lone Wolf stand thats 5 years old but I am told in good shape. Included are Lone Wolf sticks 3 set that were bought last year and used about 6 times. He said they are like new. I can get the whole set for $175. I have not seen these and obviously wouldn't purchase if they looked abused. How are the Lone wolf stands from 5 years ago? IS it worth the money or keep saving in my piggy bank for a new one. I figure the sticks new are 109 I think? So in your opinion is it worth it?
I would bet you would need to update the seat on that lock on (unless he already did). The older Lone Wolf seats aren't very nice. I would say $130 is a fair price for both. IMO $175 is too much coin.
Wow 130 would be robbery I think. I guess I was just wondering if the older lone wolfs had the same leveling platform and basic construction. I know very little about the older ones. Any one have a older model?
I think its a good deal, I'd buy it in a heart beat! I think the seat upgrade is $35.00??? For about $200 all in you'd have a great set up!
3 sticks alone are $120+ new these days. Figure a year old and they would be a good deal at $100 for three. That makes the stand $75. You can buy a seat upgrade for $45 from lone wolf (that includes a new metal seat and pad). So for $220 You can have a set of lone wolf stuff, as good as new IMO, that would cost $189 + $129= $318. I would inspect the stand for rust (connector cable parts) and the straps for any tears. If things looked good and safe I would buy it.
With it being 5+ years old, I would want new straps and cables as well. Does this stand have the versa button system?
New. Sticks... $110 Assualt $175 $285.00 Used. Stand and sticks. $175 New seat $45 Replacement belts $20 New cables $10 $250 Just lending my opinnion.
I'd be willing to bet if this was listed online in the classifieds somewhere it would last about a half a day! If its in good shape like he says, you probably don't need cables or straps. My stand and straps are about 4 years old, VERY well used and are rock solid! If there is a strand on the cable that is broke I replace them if not your fine, use you discretion!
I was thinking it was an Alpha hang on, the cheapest I have seen those is $189. Sticks used to be $110 at 3rivers but now they are $129.
I am just saying, I wouldn't trust my life or livelihood to what some tells me about their used stand. I would replace the parts of the stand that could fail. That;s just me.
Good advice thanks Guys. I really want the sticks more so than a older stand. Maybe I will see what he would do for the sticks and maybe try and offer him bottom line $150 for everything.
It all depends on the shape of the stand. $150 is very reasonable for a set of hardly used one yr. old sticks and a 5 yr. old stand as long as its in good shape.
I offered him 150 for the whole set up. It does have the old seat but has the new backpack straps. He hesitantly accepted the offer. So all in all a great deal I think. Thanks for your opinions guys I appreciate it!
