Is $100 for a used cycleops trainer worth it?

Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

The person said that they only used it once.

I asked them if it there is anything wrong with it and they said it was in perfect condition.

I'm thinking more like $75.

What do you guys think?

Man forget that...the seller is clueless I just figured it out she was using the Fluid Trainer picture and then she said mine is just like that but black. F that black is the magneto without the fluid. What a waste of my time.

My Cycleops fluid 2 trainer is black, though the resistance unit is gray.

I paid $100 for it used, but supposedly rarely used if at all before I got it.

I see...maybe I need to look into it a bit more...

Does yours have a knob (resistance on it as well)?

You have the higher end one (Fluid 2) but this person is selling the cheaper one (Mag Trainer).
