If your going to buy a used Bird 43 go to the source..

I would be leary of spending that much on a used one from eBay. The last time i bought a Bird movement, just the meter, off there it was stuck.
Ebay is becoming the garbage dump of the internet now days.
He currently has some nice used ones in stock for around $170-$200, and slugs in the $30-$75 range depending on frequency and power.
You could get what you need from him for a lot cheaper than eBay, and it's guaranteed to work and comes with him standing behind it as tested. I bought elements and replacement parts from him over the years, definitely the man to deal with when you need Bird goodies.

Duct tape is like the force, it has a dark side and a light side and it holds the universe together.

Go Telwave
I personally like the Telwave. No slugs, fwd and reflective, and a range of power settings. Much easier for doing field work. Just my opinion.
