In my opinion buying used electronics, especially tools, is not a good idea. I've often wondered if a tool is working fine why are they getting rid of it? This excludes bankruptcy and going out of business auctions. On the other hand demos, trade-ins etc, bought from a reputable dealer are a good way to go. One other comment, I recently bought a new Miller 250 amp mig welder. I had prices that differed $600 from high to low. Play the dealers against each other, you can get a very good deal if you shop around.
