I have been doing some price checking for the past few hours as well. It's looking like for the $2,000 I can buy almost everything brand new. I think that I would also end up going with a GTT Lynx torch instead. She sent me videos of torch and kiln running but that's all I have to go off of. I think I'm going to tell her that $2,000 is probably close to what it would cost new, but unless she's willing to cut the price down quite a bit, I'll just buy new. That also gives me the freedom to piece a kit together that's perfectly suited for what I want. What she does have is a lot of tools that would cost me quite a bit to purchase, but that wouldn't be enough to sway me into buying used gear at new gear prices.
