You should be able to find a K2 for sale used for roughly 2/3 (sometimes more, sometimes less) of the retail kit and included modules price. This discount probably reflects the fact that you really don't know how well it was originally built, but thankfully the K2 is fairly forgiving of variations in construction skill.
If you do find one used, you should probably assume that some aspect of it will require a bit of troubleshooting/sleuthing to make exactly right. Frankly, I find this every bit as interesting and absorbing as actually operating, so your take on this might be a little bit different. Fortunately again, the K2 manual goes to lengths to show you the way when troubleshooting, and the reflector and Elecraft support itself will go to great lengths to help you out. If you do buy a used K2, be sure to ask if the Frequency counter probe and RF Probe, included in the original kit but frequently separated, are included.
