Used Carpets?

I was asked to exhaust all the possibilities in the universe, so here I am.

Before I place an order for a new conveyor, I was asked to explore the idea of an used one. I have not seen any on the typical 'used ski market' sites and would imagine anything out there is an 20 yr old beast or the parts are unavailable....
But if you have a lead on a nice, used 350-400' carpet, let me know asap.

I have two old ones around and an extra drive. They're only about 120 ft each don't think the drive is big enough to make a 200 footer. The problem is that the conveyor belt is the plastic link type and cost more to replace than getting a new carpet. And if the operator doesn't clean the snow catcher your sprockets break apart. have plenty of plastic belt around but used to be replacing pieces every couple of days. It will be hard to find a good used carpet worth buying. Good luck. if you get a sunkid get the blue eye belt
