I'm curious to see if anybody is looking to sell a shearwater petrel that is in good condition? I figured I ask here before blowing my next check on a new one.

Why would you post a link to retail pricing? HIGHER than retail, even?

I'm assuming he can use Google! I think he was looking for used, and cheaper than retail.
Sorry Victor for some reason I thought the retail was more like $950, so I thought it was a deal. Also I have been told that they hold their value well so they would not be much cheaper used. What do they go for used?Quote:

ams, rereading it now I realize it came off grumpier than I meant it. But yeah, it's not a deal anymore. The Canadian Dollar taking a hit seems to be what makes it so fortuitous for divers outside of Canada buying Petrels. As for holding their value, it's exactly what Oliver said.....$750-$800 before the price drop for a good condition Petrel. Now that they're $850 NIB, nobody is selling them used. I wouldn't...it's worth more to me than the $650 you'd need to be selling them at.
Thanks all for the PM's and posts on the thread! I have found a seller and am looking forward to diving with the petrel soon. Dive safe!
