anyone give me a idea what a single pendent(big bulb SE) 175 watt + ballest would be worth used ?

Depends on type of ballast, type of bulb, age of bulb and type of pendant.

A new 175W ballast is <$100, and used bulbs usually sell for 80%-0% of their original cost depending on age and brand (spme exceptions do apply of course).

ok no bulb included lets say

What type of ballast? Your standard tar ones? What type of pendant?

I don't think I'd want to pay more than $60-$70 for a used 175W ballast..even less if its a DIY one...but that's just me.

So would you buy new instead of buying a used ballast?
 

Is it worth buying new are you usually taking a big chance when with lighting bulbs when buying lights used?
