already have $180 refurbishing the kit and not looking to spend another $50+ on new filter. Looking for used to save to some moolah. The kit can sell as is for all i care.....if no one has one doesn't hurt to try to find a used one. Trying to reduce the damage on the hit i'm taking to unload this thing. The kit is not going anywhere, discretionary income is not where it used to be. Also, quite a few people don't put there money where there mouth is (aka flakes, excuses )..... I had a dude lowball me b/c he could get it cheaper (if that was true why are you pestering me). I said dude go for it, my kit is selling for half price. The good stuff comes at a price. ...so the journey continues.
