Acquiring used optometry equipment can be compared to driving up a winding and precarious mountain road. It can be considered nice if you are precise, but it can be quite troublesome if you are not very careful. Here you will get advice on how to acquire pre-owned ophthalmic tools so as to get the benefit of large savings and not regret a thing.
The great news for buyers of previously owned equipment is that the dubious dealers who have sprung up with the expansion of the Internet have been mostly weeded out in the last few years. Leaving it open mostly to experienced and reliable dealers who make use of the Internet as only one of several tools to satisfy customers, provide information and get repeat business. Now there are approximately six to ten big dealers in the country who have monitored the business, to stop unethical dealers.
The providers have also created an informal system of reliable and experienced dealers who will quite often team up to assist a customer to find a specific piece of equipment that they might require. Everyone is looking at their bottom line and trying to maximize their profits. Practices are searching for second hand products that have the same use as if they were buying it new.
Companies that get the highest quality mechanical and optical second hand pieces that are very durable can get a saving of at least twenty percent particularly when compared to the prices of new equipment. But having said that, you must not buy old computerized tools, because the technology is always improving and it will probably be antiquated before it will be worth the price you paid for it. It's the same as buying an outdated computer, it is just not done.
Satellite Businesses that are being opened and then equipped is a very big part of why there is a large demand for second hand ophthalmic utensils. Most companies would choose to help keep their initial charges down until it can be proven that there is a demand for them. Getting pre- owned tools can be a wonderful way to keep those first costs low.
Mostly they will end up with a mixture of pre- owned and new tools because the second hand pieces they require aren't always available. The best sources of such tools for dealers are foreclosures, doctors that are retiring and trade-ins. Business for these second hand dealers is good as lately the demand for these tools has exceeded what can be supplied.
Most of the machines are evolving technologically which has produced a very large demand for tools like the optical coherence tomography (OCT) machine. Many practices assume that they should have the most recent OCT equipment. And there are so many companies that would be happy to take their old OCT tool that has been a trade-in.
Although OCT is a very fast sell item of the used optometry equipment field, there is a gigantic demand for the more conventional, resilient tools that have a maximum life expectancy. These products can be in use for ages before they need to be replaced. Because they are resilient, they will keep their value for much longer, which means they won't be as big of a bargain that the more technologically advanced tools.
