I can't recall where I saw that once, but it was a huge discount. Basically the pump company just wanting to get rid of older pumps that are traded in. Heck, the pump was sold once, they made $6000 then, they give you $500 to sell it back to them, then they resell it after a checkup for say $1000. Another $500 profit for them.
