I recommend people actually do some research on what it is they want to buy first and see what it would cost new and then weigh the options about buying it used. I find a lot of people think that if they are buying something used online then the item should be almost free. For example I have a light fixture for sale at what I think is a very fair price at $550. When I bought it I paid $1300 for it, only used it for a year and the MH bulbs that retail for over $100 each (x3) were replaced and are basically brand new. As far as I'm concerned the asking price is already lower than it should be so to me that is a great deal. I'll keep it before I sell it for an even lower fire sale price. Perceived values change from person to person but IME you generally get what you pay for whether it's new or used.
