Used indoor playground equipment for sale

Advantages and disadvantages of used indoor playground equipment?

Advantages

The initial investment is greatly reduced

The average price of second-hand equipment is 30%-70% of new products, which is suitable for small and medium-sized investors to control costs. In addition, some equipment comes with installation drawings, protective pads, spare parts, and even original site operation data, reducing additional procurement and planning costs.

The implementation cycle is compressed to the shortest

New product customization requires a production cycle of 4-12 weeks, and second-hand equipment can be directly installed after overhaul, which is suitable for rapid opening before the peak season.

The market trial and error cost is controllable

If the local market demand is unclear, the investment in second-hand equipment is low, and even if the project is adjusted, the loss of resale or transformation is small.

Disadvantages

Safety and compliance risks are prominent

Equipment aging risk: Equipment over 5 years old may have rusted steel frame welds, aging circuit insulation layers, and elastic attenuation of buffer materials. Failure to strictly inspect can easily lead to children being pinched or falling accidents.

Experience and iteration lag behind the market

Even if the coating peels off and the soft furnishings are damaged (such as cracked leather seats), it is difficult to achieve the new quality even if refurbished, especially for the parent-child customer group under the "appearance economy". Most second-hand devices are 3-5 years old, lacking the current popular AR interaction and intelligent scoring system, and it is difficult to meet consumers' demand for "novel experience".
