In general, would you consider buying used power tools if the usage is for
one project and after that would be rare and occasional use?

By means of used tools I mean something that is previously used and "look"
beat up like those people sell on ebay. I don't mean original
manufacturer reconditioned tools.

What are some pros and cons? To me if it's cordless I am worried about
the battery.

And if you would consider it, what would a reasonable price point be? I
have seen a new tool with free shipping on Amazon for $150.00 and someone
is offering an equivalent tool that is all beat up with no battery no case
no manual and it went to $79 with $30 shipping seems totally out of line
to me.

For one time project, I'll buy new tools at Harbor Freight - cheap enough.
Given enough time those one time projects usually turn out into multiple
projects.

I will buy used tools, stationary power tools in particular, as some of the
old stuff are better quality and will last forever.
