So I'm looking for some used Radion XR30 to replace my black boxes and just trying to see what everyone thinks each generation is worth? I've been finding prices all over and just unsure if they are reasonable or not.

I've found Gen 2 for $175 and Gen 2 Pro for $225-250 but then also found Gen 3 Pro for around $300-350 but also a pair of Gen 3 Pro for $500. Some of them are on eBay so I know the seller is already taking a loss of 10% in fees so if it was a local sale the price could be slightly cheaper.

I need 3 lights so I've been searching but can't find anyone selling 3 and if someone does have 3 they're asking for way more than I can get them purchased individually from 3 different people. Also are non-pro models even worth considering?

Just looking for some personal opinions on what fair pricing would be or what YOU would be willing to pay for the different generations.

I wouldn’t personally buy lights with that much mileage on them. You’re looking at multiple components that will be near end of life at that point

I wouldn't pay more than 50% of retail on the new model.

Gen 3 should be in the 250-300 range at the most.

I would look for AI hydra 26 or 52 as another option.
