Flex 3401
Does anyone know if I need to post this in a specific area to try to sell my flex 3401? I have a flex 3401 brand new never been plugged in.

I don't think AG has a f/s thread or spot. I think it's discouraged.
You maybe have a better shot on one of those auction style sites anyway

Re: Flex 3401
The management at Autogeek doesn't allow sales threads on the forum.
I think you can do it on the Autopia forum?
Just to add.... I RARELY see someone sell their FLEX 3401 and when they do, down the read I see them post a new thread where they regret it and then complain about having to purchase one all over again.
Not sure what you situation is, I'm just saying what I've seen over the years in the blogosphere.

Re: Flex 3401
Only reason I am considering selling it is to buy a Rupes. I have never used a machine polisher and heard the Flex is a work horse but the Rupes is a little smoother and easier to get used to so considering buying the LHR 15 or LHR21. Thats the only reason I am looking to recoop some money on the Flex.
I have the Flex 3401, some pads, and the autogeek detailing bag I am looking to sell and then would buy the Rupes complete detailing package.

Haha. Mike, you wrote down exactly what I was thinking. It is a time issue where people just aren’t spending enough time with a tool in hand in regards to people not getting along with the Flex 3401?
I would say on average (a guesstimate because I don’t time it officially) that I would spend around 30, 35 hours a week with a Flex 3401 in hand. I read people’s comments about them being ‘taxing’ etc & it rotates the wrong way but seriously - life is taxing. I’m getting older by the day but I don’t go home at night feeling like I’ve been beaten up by my Flex.
Of all the polishers I have or have ever had, the Flex 3401 would be the last to go if I had to choose.

The 3401 is a great tool. I had mine fir years and once you learn to use it, it’s a huge time saver.

The only time it beat me up, was using those super thin LC Ultra Fiber microfiber pads.
It might be that coming from a rotary, the forced rotation doesn't bother me. Same with the spin. Once you get used to it, it's a no brainer.
Since I replaced the one I sold, I've used it more than I though I would.

I had once wondered, if using it down under, did the Flex then rotate the other way?
