Default Used turbo or s/c?

What do they usually go for? Do ya'll guys recommend buying a used one? And if so, where can I find one? Just can't spend the 4 or 5 thousand right now for a new one! Thanks for the ideas!

I bought my kit from ebay also. I like the idea of a used turbo more than a supercharger.

I think it would be cheaper and easier to rebuild a turbo than a SC if you ended up with something screwed up.
