For Sale - 2x Phonak Sky B50-UP Used only for 5 months

Nobody is questioning the ops desire to sell these aids. And everyone understands that the op is thinking he or she is being resonable regarding the price considering how much they originally paid for the aids. Unfortunately, the reality is that the aids are used, come with no warranty, and can be bought at a substantially cheaper price elsewhere

Second hand, yes. Give or take a few dollars etc. Not brand new.

Realised i didn’t say second hand.

Thanks for your clarification, so it’s clear for me that I’ll need to reconsider my expectation for this sale.

How does it work in Italy?

Can you post them locally especially if people in Italy get no help with the cost of hearing aids?

I mean advertise them.

It could be strange but eBay rules in Italy forbid to sell such kind of Aids as they are medical devices for which you need a medical prescription, then eBay cancelled my ad. You can sell them, even used, only if you are e an official dealer, not a private one.

@nicodechirico

Same rules here in UK on eBay as well now!

The only way eBay take them down is, if someone reports. Apparently eBay are too busy to take listings down themselves for HAs.

What about Facebook Marketplace?

You might be able to sell them through your audiologist but if course he’ll want his cut which would be probably half. But to be honest with you I doubt many will be willing to pay 2000 for aids without a warranty from a person they don’t know. Then they still need to get them programmed

some Facebook groups about hearing aids are also an ideal place to advertise.

hopefully open to donations for those in need.

Let me give you an example. Had a pair of marvels. Bought them because they were best sounding for me but we’re only sp when I needed up. Audi called phonak to find out if marvels we’re coming out in up. They said no. 8 months later out come the paradise in up. I trialed them liked them better but couldn’t be shelling out that money all over again, so soon. Audi got phonak to let me have paradise aids at cost. Then the Audi got phonak to extend the warranty on the marvels so he could sell them. He eventually was able to sell the marvels at the same price the op wants for the sky aids. But warranties are usually not transferable from one owner to another. And I’m telling you, from this experience, no one would buy used aids without a warranty. Would you?

People do but not for $2000.

Isn’t that the whole point of this thread.

You just said ‘used Aids without a warranty’ which isn’t true.

Zebras. I love being corrected when I relate a real life experience in an effort to maybe helping the op understand a little better

Not really correcting you.

There are thousands of hearing aids on eBay in the US without a warranty and they still get sold!

You just didn’t specifically say, the OPs Aids at $2000!!

I got me a pair of used OPN 1 on ebay a while back for a fair price :slight_smile:

Is 2000 a fair price from a stranger with no warranty. Sure if you’re paying 200 then what’s the big deal. But op wants 2000 and no warranty. Let’s try to stay on track for this thread

I followed your suggestion and then decided to reconsider my expectation on this sale, so I changed the request to $ 950 negotiable. Please contact me if anyone could be interested.
I have also a Phonak Roger Touchscreen to sell and an I-Cube 2.

I hope you’re able to sell them.
