Is buying a used tablet any good? I'm getting an intuos

Wacom tablet are general quality and can be bought used, but look that you get the pen with extra exchangeable nibs (the thin tip of the pen), since they are rather expensive (up to 15$ for 5 little pieces of worthless plastic), that the surface of the tablet is not worn out too much and if the usb cable is directly connected to the tablet (not interchangeable like Intuos 3) , check for its condition. Also you should rather ask this in the question thread, while you get probaly more answers with this thread, it can be deleted within hours, since tablet threads are semibanned.

You can use weedwhacker wire as pen nibs theres a vid on youtube about it

get a huion. dirt cheap for what you get, and as long as you're careful with the usb port it'll last you a while.
