I picked up a used Ries A100 legset and a mint J250 head (not the ideal match for the A100, but great nonetheless) a few months ago for my Deardorff and paid no more than $500 for the two. Still not entirely wallet-friendly, but a heck of a lot cheaper than what I would have paid new. However, now that I've used a Ries, I think I would pay full price for a new one of I had to. Absolute top quality stuff.
