HMI par 1200 price?

[StrobelPhotography]

I'm looking at a couple 1200 par hmi's. (i'm only going to purchase one) What should I be looking to pay for decently used working 1200 kit with electronic ballast and lens etc? One is an arrisun and one is a Ltm. I'm aware that ltm costs more to fix now that they aren't as available and being used as much as arri. Thank you!!

Used prices seem to have gone down, but the range is hard to predict. Check eBay(advanced search for completed listings), Pyramid Films, and the industry auction sites and you may get a feel for what they're going for. If you live near LA it's usually cheaper, from what I've seen. But it seems to a good extent to be about supply and demand, especially if you're going remote (eBay etc) vs. local (Craigs List). Some people really think their beater unit is worth a brand new Arri...

3000 dollars. No more, no less.

I've never seen them cheaper than that and I am always looking, but I've bought two for 3k on separate occasions.
