Pre-owned HMT from foresight for 4900.00? What's the used market?

[fortysixandtwo]

I'm thinking of adding an hmt, what's the used market prices been? Are they pretty rare to come up for sale and just better off going through foresight?

They rarely come up, and when they do, they are almost always bundled with a GC2 from someone who is selling their whole system. I think I have seen less than five come up for sale in the last couple of years. Supposedly a brand new member sold a GC2+HMT for $7500 a couple weeks ago. The listing seemed suspect though. I remember last year someone sold both for around $8k. If you aren't in a rush (think 6 month time period) you might be able to save $1000. If you need it worked on and have to pay a $500 registration fee, then that would wipe out half of the savings.

Personally, I would like to add one as well. If I had the money I would probably buy one from Foresight knowing that I could recoup most of it if I decided to sell later on since demand seems to exceed supply.

How much is hmt new from foresight?

[andygg1986]

It used to be $6500. Not sure if they have dropped the price or if you could negotiate a discount.

I feel like they told me it was around $5,500-5,800 now but my memory might be fuzzy.
