It is certainly an option, I know a buddy of mine sold his P3P in great condition with 2 extra batteries for the price of a new P3P. Great condition, never been crashed. Of course, some people will try to screw you over and sell you a crappy one that has been crashed, its just a matter of finding an honest person thats willing to sell to you at a good price. It is certainly an option though if you aren't willing to spend that much! Check out craigslist!
