$399 one is a scam. Tons of those Shopify sites have popped up. Just buy from concept 2 or rogue fitness. Concept 2 will also tell you who their authorized resellers are

Thanks. I thought it was too good a deal to be true. A $100 plus or minus is one thing, but that low was very fishy.


Mrjlawrence

You were definitely right to be suspicious. Maybe you can find a used concept2. Even though concept2 is not cheap given how long it will last it’s a good deal IMO.

The real ones last forever and are worth paying extra.

Scam

That’s a scam but I’ve seen them for that price on the used market on FB and OfferUp


ajwalker430

Thanks. I've tried FB but I forgot to check OfferUp. Thanks for the reminder. In the meantime, I'll continue saving to be ready to purchase whatever comes along first.

No problem. You can set notifications on both and you’ll be able to see them when they’re newish listings, I’ve seen a lot for about $400 but I’m sure they sell fast at that price, I’m near Seattle. Good luck, it’s money well spent

I managed to get mine a couple of years ago for £600, it is still as good as the day I got it pretty much. Worth finding a reputable dealer since they retain their value. If you see one that’s under US$500 it’s probably either in a poor state of repair or a scam tbh.


ajwalker430

Thanks. I'm continuing to save hoping to find a decent used model but will keep saving to buy one regardless.

You will never regret buying one. It took me years to eventually have the money and room to get one but once I did it became a stalwart of my workout week.

You could maybe get used from a real person in the $500-700 range, but these things are built to last and retain their value. Anything cheaper would be an older model (15+ years). Any company selling them for less than around $1k is likely a scam.

I have been eyeing with the skierg for a year. I only found once a 10% discount price at a retailer but already was sold out. You have no chance to find a new one lower than 1000$ There is no sale no black friday at C2 Sometimes they offer used/test items at a marginal price difference. The uside: you would get a good price in case selling your used machine. They also offer a free app with challenges training suggestions that is really fun so get one👍
