So you think about selling gear before you have even bought it? How odd...

I don't think that is the point.The point is selling second hand delks is limited to who will buy as the colour of the led is fixed on one colour.If you saw a set of delks forsale and they were red led but you had green bobbins then you might not buy them unless you are not bothered about them matching of course

I only replace my kit when it needs it, hence I still use mk1 txi+ delks, few minor repairs over the years but all wear and tear related. Seems like people swap alarms around extremely quickly nowadays, probably due to water ingress with the mk2s but I think its shocking to sell them on if they have a problem.
Plenty of 'used twice' or 6 months old on the adverts for mk2s, if the new ones are built to last then with the water ingress issue sorted then you shouldnt need to sell them on?

Yes I get that, but why even consider it when buying? It's no different to most other alarms being fixed colours, and they still sell well enough. With delks users seem to be quite long term, so doubtful they will be selling them on anytime soon anyway, not like you fox users getting shot every couple of years when the next new model comes out... 😂

I agree,I still use my mk1 txi's and there bomb proof never had any problems least of all with water Ingres
As someone said on here if Delkim had made the new ones to look like the mk1 Txi ( same body) but with more tweaks etc then they would flying off the shelves,I'm not really fussed what the new ones look like but they do look cheap things

Er after being an unwilling test pilot for many companies gear that turned out to be absolute crap...I'd say thinking about the re sale value is the prudent thing to do... However as I said before if you are comfortable with your probably £550 quid purchaser/field tester role then crack on

I always said if delkim bring out a better receiver and waterproof alarms then I would switch without question.I never suffered water ingress but know people that have my main issue was utter crap receiver not picking up my alarms when I had a set.
I'm certainly interested in these new ones but will wait to see if any teething issues

100% surely they could have at least styled them on the mk1s considering how retro is the new modern. They are selling at £80-100 an alarm depending on condition which says a lot for them.
By the time mine have packed up these new ones will be well and truly tested for issues

All hail BivvieWrecker the soothsayer (as per post #2) maybe not all negative though 
A lot of people on here are far to interested on what other people want from an alarm. If it suits people to have one colour, then thats good, i accept that. Why does it bother other people so much that others would rather have interchangable led colours?
I get the resale argument. Same with cars isnt it. Certain colours are more desirable than others so hold value better. Why shouldnt resale be a consideration for someone, and if it is, why are other people so bothered by that?
Cant we just go back to fox vs delkim or shimano vs daiwa??

No the new argument is changing and non changing leds

If a certain company hadn't produced an alarm with interchangeable led's then we wouldn't be having a discussion about it,personally I think it's a gimmick that we fall for apart from me
The changing of the colour on the RX plus ,IMO is a great idea , ill have Red one day Green the next or what ever and thats because I can .
Fishing is not just about the catching the fish its also for me about the journey I/ we take to get their , So having nice gear "Tarty " if you like is something I like to have .

Having had delks for 25 years or so and changing to other alarms now. I can never see me going back
They will have to be good for me to buy them
