Bob, buying used is the way to go. Only buy local. No shipping. I almost bought that Delta Star from plankton a couple months ago. I can't believe he still has it. I would definately go check it out. Make sure he runs it for you. My JBJ is a year old but looks like it just came out of the box. retails for around $800 I got it for $540. I drove to San Jose and the guy gave me three frags of killer zoos. Good Luck.
