With the prices the older Stars are going for on the auction sites, I'd just place my order with Magma and get a new one if I was in the market for one. It's a **** shoot when buying a used one, as sometimes the seller has no idea what they're selling, since a lot of them hit yards sales and going out of life sales (aka: estate sales). They sell stuff they have no idea about, since it's all about turning a few dollars. I don't have a problem with that, since it recycles good equipment, but the knowledge isn't there on the seller's part.
I've got six of the original Star lube/sizers and they were all used when I got them. They ranged from almost new condition to just above boat anchor condition when they arrived. They also ranged from free to about half of what a new one costs, but I've had all mine for many years.
With a new machine you pretty much know what you're buying and it comes with a warranty. If you have an issue, you just pick up the phone and call the nice people at Magma and they'll walk you through the problem.
Hope this helps.

I ordered mine about 6 weeks ago. Lady at Magma says mine should ship to me on Friday the 26th. Already have 2 sizing dies from Lathesmith and will ordering a 3rd soon.
I don't own, or use any lube sizers so this will be my leap into the world of mechanized sizing.

The delivery window keeps moving. Order now and you stop it moving.
Mine is on order. Probably 14 to 16 weeks but it will be worth the wait.
