Some companies provide used wheelchairs that are out of the box, meaning that they have not been used by a person, the box was opened and now they must sell it as an open box used wheelchair. This type of wheelchair is actually a New Wheelchair where the box was opened or the wheelchair was removed from the box, but it does not have any wear.
There are many problems that come with buying a Used Wheelchair, some of these problems are outlined below. You can encounter problems with a Second Hand Wheelchair because it has been used by a previous owner. Depending on how they treated their chair will tell you if the purchase is worth the price.
Another issue you may have with a used wheelchair is that the lifetime of the wheelchair will not be the same as if you were buying a brand new wheelchair. This means that the chair has a long enough usage from the previous owner, that there is noticeable wear on the frame and upholstery as well.
