I look at it this way... every deal is different...

I bought two Tusa Regs, both about 6 months old, and one, was a dealer that basically wrote me a sales slip and gave me the paperwork so one set is "as new"

RS460 - from ST: $330
SS10 octo - from ST: $80
Mares SPG - from DiverSupply: $120
Extra Inflator Hose: $20
Total if bought outright: $550
I paid $250 with working warranty card and receipt.

RS460 - $330
Mares Console - $160
Inflator Hose - $20
Then I bought the SS10 octo from ST for $80
So, total value - $590
I paid $230

I saved $660, and the only thing that is not under warranty is one of the RS460's...

So, it depends on what kind of deal you get on the used equipment... I definitely made out well... even paying for services, it'll be 4-5 years before I'd be over what I saved...
