Oh it's definitely worth checking out used kits.
You just have to make sure that the used kit you're buying isn't going to cost more in the long run than a new one.
If you can physically inspect the used kit and determine its condition, you can make an estimate of how much money you may need to put into it. Add that figure to the cost of the kit, then compare it to a new kit of a similar setup and ask yourself whether the price difference is large enough to choose the used kit.

The only variables here are the brand of kit you may be comparing to, as that will have an effect on the price.
