I haven't heard much about this mic, matter of fact I just tried to get review on it and couldn't find one. If you think the mic is worth it sure you could get it second hand, but it depends on what condition the mic is in. Was it returned to the store with in a few days? If not, and the previous owner used it alot you may need to have the diagphram cleaned. I am not sure the cost on that though. Test it and if it sounds clean I would buy it if I was interested in it. I would say see if you can get an extra $50 off it. Tell them you have $350 to spend at that very moment. Maybe blue can give you a better response.
