the listing

I don’t know enough to know what I don’t know, but the price seems pretty low even for a used 3d printer. Do the pictures or description give any indications?

edit: Thanks to everyone for the replies! I woke up and saw a bunch of messages and was like, “oh crap what did i say this time.”

Prevailing opinion seems to be it’s probably a fair price, but my lack of experience makes it a risky choice.

    Like others have said, it’s definitely not “too good to be true” territory, but there’s so many things that can be wrong or not right with it that you’re much better off getting a new printer. Sure you might save $100 getting a used one but the chances of you spending weeks chasing a problem that you admittedly have no knowledge of diagnosing is just way too high for it to be worth it. For someone with a bunch of knowledge and experience this would be a decent deal, but so is a car with a check engine light or salvage title… could be (probably are) opening yourself up to way more headache than the money’s worth.
