My 18 year old Sears leaf blower gave up its ghost. I tried to resuscitate

I am looking for an inexpensive gas leaf blower for light duty around my
home.
I was looking at the reviews of some blowers at Walmart, the HD and Amazon,
but they all had rather poor reviews, except the $ 500 Echos. I don't want
to spend more than @ 100.
Any recommendations based on experience? Is it worth looking at any of the
many re-furbished blowers on E-bay?
Thanks

How about you don't bother the leaves?
And give nearby folks a break on noise & air pollution?
Two stroke engines dump about 30% of their fuel unburned.
Blowers stir up lots of particulates, the good news, operator suffers
the worst.
Tend to agree that every time you use a 2 cycle small engine you need to
put your smelly clothes in the hamper and take a shower.
I prefer my corded unit. I can do things like dust out the car and
sweep out the garage without all the noise and smell.
