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.
Or heaven forbid...use a rake?
Rake... think blisters and bandaides. BTDT and it's no joy
especially with packed down leaves from all winter.
