how do you have bouncing enthusiastic, I continually check the current market for great deals on exercise rebounders also known as mini-trampolines, as well as updates on the latest enhancements to these products as the technology behind them improves.
In my research, I am finding some questionable exercise rebounders being offered for sale online. Some of the information that is presented to unsuspecting potential customers is not correct.
One thing everyone should know is the length and conditions of the warranty. Warranties only apply to brand new exercise rebounders, regardless of the brand you purchase. The manufacturer will not honor the warranty (lifetime or 5 years, for example) on your unit if you are not the original owner. Consequently, if you see someone stating that there is a warranty covering your purchase of a used product, then either the seller is unaware of the terms of the warranty or is relying on you to be unaware of that fact and is using it as a sales guarantee. point.
If you are not the original owner, you will be responsible for the full cost of any future repairs to the unit. This is important. Sadly, that $100 you originally saved by buying used instead of new will be completely lost when you need to replace the springs on your exercise jumper the first time. In case you haven’t noticed, this will be an annual expense if you purchased a soft rebound or elastic spring unit like the one bellicon Prayed Need and you bounce on it often, if not every day.
I recently found a listing on eBay for a rarely Cellercise semi-folded usedr® with balance beam for a price well below the cost of a new one. The article image looked good; in fact, it looked too good. I noticed it was a picture found on the manufacturer’s website of a new Tri-Fold Cellerciser® with its balance beam already attached for display purposes. It was not a picture of the used item being sold on eBay. I painstakingly contacted eBay Customer Support by phone with three days left until the auction and told the representative who took the call about this situation. He stated that he saw the picture of the new Tri-Fold on the Cellerciser® website and told me he would file a report with eBay’s Trust & Safety Department to have the picture removed. Did eBay ever remove the photo? No they didn’t and some unsuspecting eBay member bought a used rebounder from the picture of a new one that wasn’t even the model of what was being sold. By the way, the listing didn’t even indicate the year the product was made, so this used Cellerciser® could possibly be 10 years old.
With that in mind, here are some tips to help avoid problems with used exercise jumpers:
1. Consider buying only used when you can test the product in person.
2. Find out the year (and month if possible) the unit was first purchased.
3. Determine with the original owner how often the product was used (daily, weekly, rarely, or rarely). If the unit has been used frequently, the springs may need to be replaced in the not too distant future, depending on the brand you are considering purchasing.
4. Ask the seller when they took the photo of the merchandise being sold.
5. If you’re considering buying a used exercise jumper online from a site like eBay or Amazon, estimate ahead of time how much it will cost to ship the unit back to the seller if the product isn’t all you thought it would be. be. Even if the seller misrepresented the item, you will only be covered by these sites’ buyer protection policies for the original price and shipping cost you incurred upon receiving the product. You, the buyer, will be on the lookout for the cost of shipping the product back to the seller and that can cost anywhere from $40 to $100 using UPS Ground or USPS Select Parcel.
6. When shopping online, buy a new unit instead of a used one whenever possible. If your finances are tight, consider using programs like PayPal’s financing program called Bill Me Later® to spread out a new jumper’s payments over a six-month period.
Rebounding is a great exercise with a host of health and fitness benefits available for you to experience. Making the right purchase and avoiding the pitfalls when considering a new or used exercise jumper will allow you to enjoy rebounding exercise even more.
