There is another expense - shipping, though if you live in NYC, you shouldn't have too much trouble finding deals locally. Professional refurbishments are extremely expensive. Even if you're not mechanically inclined (I'm not either), I'm sure you could, with good instructions, manage to replace a blown bulb or worn out rubber.Unfortunately, I read an article recently about how dwindling supply and increased demand (due to those who grew up on DMD machines making lots of money) has made machine prices skyrocket, to the point where DMD machines that used to be under a thousand three years ago now go for 2-3 grand, and that's under the worst economy since the Great Depression. If the economy bounces back, expect that to go even higher!
