Epoch 2 price overview
The $8,000–$16,000 range reflects real US market conditions. Units from clinic upgrades (known history) command premium pricing. Auction or liquidation units with unknown history start lower - but TechCosmetic verifies before listing.
Buyer's checklist for Epoch 2
Ask for the last three service reports by name and date. If the seller can't produce them within 24 hours, the documentation gap will cause issues at resale. TechCosmetic pre-screens this before any listing goes live.
US Market overview
Clinics like Quest Diagnostics and Quest Diagnostics operate in markets across the US, creating steady turnover of used Epoch 2 units. TechCosmetic sources from these networks - not from auction liquidation.

Epoch 2 - FAQ
Ask for: hours on the main system, last service date and vendor, list of all accessories included, reason for sale, and whether a demo is available. If any answer is vague, that's a signal.
