All practices watching their checkbooks lately and are hoping to get bigger profits. Practices are trying to find second hand tools that are still good quality just as though they were 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.

Professionals who are hunting for pre-owned tools to create satellite practices may not be able to obtain all the brands on their lists.

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 an exceptionally fast selling item of the used optometry equipment field, there is a huge demand for the more traditional, longer lasting tools that have long life spans. These tools can be used for years without them needing to be replaced. Because they are enduring, they will retain their value for longer, which makes them less appealing as a saving than the more hi-tech tools.
