Found a bluetti 180 at a local pawn shop

I did not buy it, but it was marked and sold as a battery charger…

Anyway, I got them to let me look it over, saw it has built in ac charging, and a 60V max dc input port. 1125Wh battery, and 4 20A 120V outlets. 1800W inverter.
I powered it up, and it had a 98% battery level.

They wanted 499 for it.
I showed them bluetti has a sale on it right now for 499, brand new… they said they could drop the price to 445… I passed, but I later saw that the 180 is selling for 599, not 499… but I think warranty, and cables and manuals are worth more to me than what they are willing to discount it for.

Looks like a nice unit. If I could get them down to $250 I might buy it. But they said they just put it out for sale and want to see if it will sell as listed.
I might stop in next month and see if it is still there.

Half the price of new is all its worth! I deal with lots of these solar generators, buying and selling them all the time.

Yeah, no warranty, unknown usage, hard to invest in over half price…

But the retail price is $899, so, they are close to 50% of new price… they’re selling it for 599, until end of June, so right NOW it’s worth no more than 299 to me…

I have one and love it, but pawn shop with no warranty? $250.
