Looking at picking up a used Egg.

Options
Hi
I have been looking at finally picking up a second egg.  I found someone locally selling a small one for $500. I don't think they're worth $500 even with the stand.  What would you guys offer?  It comes with the nest, egg wooden egg mates and I think that's it.  I actually want a large but if I can get this one cheap enough, I may go for it.

If not, I may just wait because there is a dealer nearby that will deliver one to my house for about $750. Barebones of course.

    I picked up a MiniMax from my dealer (not delivered) for ~$500.  I've added a Smokeware Cap and a PS Woo to it but otherwise totally "stock".

    I'm thinking that price for the small is a little high (By a factor of 2X).  Not a lot of smalls for sale around here but those that I've seen were in the 200-300 asking price range.

    You want a large. The only reason you should buy one you're not looking for, is if it was a good deal. This clearly is not.

    I've bought two smalls new and both were under $500 new. I wouldn't pay more than $300 max

    Thanks guys.  I'll probably just go for the large.  There is a dude in San Diego that sell's em for a pretty good price.
