I'm seeing quite a few CCR1000 and CCR2000 on craigslist that are selling 50%-75% price of a comparable new models. I think these were trade-ins and someone fixed them up and post them for sale. Prices are a little high though at this time of the year, probably can do better in the spring. I think I try to find a cheap CCR2000 since this is the middle model with ample power. what exact prices are you seeing? as a reference i bought 2 used ones for 100-140 each. basically all that was needed were new paddles and a carb clean. the cheaper one did require some work to the housing but nothing too costly. when you are looking at them be sure to check out the belt housing cover at the bottom. most are worn and allow snow to get in the belt area that in turn creates slippage. you can do a diy fix or just buy the new part for around 25 bucks.

where abouts are you located? that does sound high unless they are in good shape (i.e. housing) with new paddles.
