The challenge I am seeing thus far is what I am trying to spend (500 or less). I am willing to go used but would need to test it out first to see if there were any problems. Please contact me if you have something like this and contact me via this email (<a href="mailto:ravynmb73@yahoo.com" target="_blank">ravynmb73@yahoo.com</a>). Thank you.</div>
