I agree with jgoldrick. I'd add that if it's a current model, that's even better. The only caveat is that if you are purchasing a tube power amp, the tubes on the power side wear out the fastest and might be expensive to replace...so I'd factor that in. Most people I know who enjoy tube preamps get a lot of life from those tubes.
I personally would shy away from purchasing a dealer demo unit, as they have many more hours on them, compared to one which is owned by an individual.
I'm hesitant to purchase pre-owned speakers, as I find it's oftentimes difficult to identify whether they have been abused by the previous owner.
