Hi guys im thinking of selling spearguns and i'd like to know what sizes spearguns you guys prefer (90cm 100cm 110cm) or if it doesnt make a big difference to you at all? and whats your thoughts on Chinese manufactured spearguns?
and what are some things to know about spearguns before selling them as well?
i have some suppliers but id be very thankful if some of you have suppliers that you would pass on to me as well.
thanks guys.
 
im not sure if your a spearfisher yourself but chinese manufactured guns dont seem too reliable...sorta like the jbl larger guns?
all in all you should be able to look at a gun and know if it has some quality whatsoever.
 
Best things to know before selling spearguns is to know spearguns. You should know and believe in every aspect of the item your selling imo. The respected retailers that most spearos buy from, know the equipment and can help if there is an issue. The knowledgable sellers offer customer service which adds a lot to the value of the purchase. People don't want cheap, they want the best. They just don't want to pay for the best

Agreed. I try to only buy gear from people that I know use the gear, and have used lots of other gear to be able to get to a point where they have a belief in the product they're selling, then back the product with decent warranties and service. Flogging entry-level junk to first-timers can make a guy a lot of money if the seller can sleep at night when all the unhappy customers want their gear repaired or their money back.
The question about guns built in China speaks for itself.
I'd say do some personal research- buy 10 different guns and try them (if you are a spearo), but the obvious answer is that the cheapest product available will be among the worst and least reliable out there.
Best of luck in any case.
