I am a Repair Tech for a dive shop in San Diego. Used gear can be a great buy. Always have a the gear inspected by a reputable dive shop technician. Most shops charge under $20.00 to "Bench Check" your gear. This entails checking your first stage I.P.(Intermediate Pressure), second stage Inhalation resistance as well as checking your guage console for accuracy.
Most regulators on the market today can easily be your last regs. if they are maintained properly. Dont be afraid of "Used Gear" but always have it checked out.
