It would depend on what generation the light is, the amount of use and care taken with it.

Chris,
I think you really need to provide more detail for anyone to help. I probably wouldn't buy gen 1s at any price at this point. I consider gen 2 and 3 roughly the same (I own the 'pro' versions of both) and gen 4 is different with Ecotech's latest effort to reduce the 'spotlighting' than can be problematic with puck style LEDs in my opinion. I would probably pay 200-300 for non-pro gen 2 or 3 lights, 300-400 for pro versions of gen 2 or 3 lights and maybe 500-600 for gen 4s with minimal use. Of course, everything is worth only what someone is willing to pay for it. I would check out the equipment sale forum here. Even if you don't buy through it, you should get a pretty good sense of what a particular light typically sells for. Matt |

don't know which models do what you want though...but isn't the pump thing through the add-on reef link? not too long ago used to new was only about $75... currently on the bay.. not so fortunate. But retail isn't (arguable) too bad https://www.aquacave.com/ecotech-ree...ontroller.html Last edited by oreo57; 02/22/2019 at 04:39 PM. |

I just sold a pair of Gen 3 Pros last week for 600.00 for the pair. At the time of sale they had been over my tank for almost 3 years to the day.

That would be the 2nd gen Radions for sure, not sure about 1st gens. But as others noted, I wouldn't buy a 1st gen Radion, it's just too old. Personally, I wouldn't buy a 2nd gen either for the same reason. Electronic components, especially fans and power supply units, do degrade over time and use.
