I got mine for free with credit card rewards points. But I would think if you pay for a used one, plus the cost of new grates and a new burner it is better to just buy a new one. A q1200 on Amazon goes for $199. Who wants to use someone else's dirty grates and grill? They are not so expensive where you have buy used. Maybe if it comes with the stand. But I would rather start with a new one myself. Great little grill once you get used to it. To buy used it would have to very clean and cheap. I see them selling used for a $100 plus, it does not make sense.
