TEK T5 fixture used on craigslist, good deal?

Someone in my area is selling a tek fixture 48" 4x54 with legs for 250, no bulbs. Does this sound like a acceptable price or slightly steep? Fixture is 7 months old.

 

4x54 tek new : $253.19
Legs new: 57.95

You save ~$60.

 

Sound like a good price for something that is 10 months old (correction)

 

I sold my 8 bulb tek that was 2 yrs old with legs for 200 canadian.

 

Get it for $200 and you're not doing badly, provided it's in basically pristine shape. Even that isn't a "good" deal, but it would be a fair price. Just make sure it works.

 

That's a pretty high asking price... I think you can get most used equipment in this hobby for ~50% of the retail price. The 48" 4 bulb Tek retails for about $275 without bulbs. I'd wait for a better deal around $150.

 

I got a 48 2x54 t5 for 70 with bulbs timers legs etc. so 150-200 is a better ballpark
