On the flip side, I sold our capsule to a friends brother and his wife. My DD had used it for about 11 weeks tops, it was in perfect condition, not a mark or scratch on it. It was in perfect condition as when we'd taken it out of the box ourselves. Frankly the people we sold it to got a great buy. I bought it for $279 and sold it for $100 as new.

These days they can be taken apart, all parts washed and cleaned etc so are very easy to keep in fabulous condition. The only unknown I guess is has it been in an accident. I would assume the hire places would inspect them quite thoroughly for wear and tear.
