You really should not be buying used beacons, no offense. You can never be too sure of the history of said beacons. You cannot put a discount on the price of your life or the others that you are hiking with. Had a friend buy one a few years back and the person that he bought it off of had shown him how to “use” it. Turns out he had to hold one of the wires to his search beacon, well it just never really worked. Would you buy a used helmet or airbag? Look, just research it before you make any decisions. Save up some money and buy a new one, you can’t go wrong.
