Having shopped both brands myself and recently having friends look into buying one of these, they encountered much the same effort and mystery I found. I wish to share my own results to save many of you the effort of hassling for a good price. And to avoid being ripped off.
Instead of copy pasting text, I am posting images of my own personal emails and invoices, of which I am the sole owner. Personal identifying information has been removed, because the internet is…well…the internet.
Hensley’s best remanufactured price - $1695. I missed the “blowout” date and paid $1795.
Best new was $2395+110 shipping.
For Propride, Sean is a real nice guy, but a little slippery. He says he will match Hensley’s remanufactured pricing but in the same breath says he doesn’t play price games. The problem is when you show him anything lower than $1995 from Hensley, he goes off the grid and stops responding. Yet he sells all day long on ebay for $1995. So does he really price match anything? I think not.
In fact because he would not respond to me for 3 weeks (with follow-ups) after providing Hensley pricing to match, I bought the Hensley.
