Chris,
I think you really need to provide more detail for anyone to help. I probably wouldn't buy gen 1s at any price at this point. I consider gen 2 and 3 roughly the same (I own the 'pro' versions of both) and gen 4 is different with Ecotech's latest effort to reduce the 'spotlighting' than can be problematic with puck style LEDs in my opinion.
I would probably pay 200-300 for non-pro gen 2 or 3 lights, 300-400 for pro versions of gen 2 or 3 lights and maybe 500-600 for gen 4s with minimal use. Of course, everything is worth only what someone is willing to pay for it. I would check out the equipment sale forum here. Even if you don't buy through it, you should get a pretty good sense of what a particular light typically sells for.

Use EEK bay. Do advanced search and see what they were recently sold for..
sold examples
Varies by time and LUCK...
don't know which models do what you want though...but isn't the pump thing through the add-on reef link?
not too long ago used to new was only about $75...
currently on the bay.. not so fortunate.
But retail isn't (arguable) too bad

That would be the 2nd gen Radions for sure, not sure about 1st gens. But as others noted, I wouldn't buy a 1st gen Radion, it's just too old. Personally, I wouldn't buy a 2nd gen either for the same reason. Electronic components, especially fans and power supply units, do degrade over time and use.
