Found a creality falcon 2 12w for 240 dollars, should I get it as my first?

Hello everyone, I found a deal locally for someone selling a creality falcon 2 12w that was used for around 1 week and was bought from Amazon brand new 6-8 months ago and the seller accepted my offering of the equivalent of 240 dollars, is this a good deal? All original accessories are available except for the original box and focus blocks which I am thinking about buying a replacement for or making out of wood, and he has a stack of wooden squares that he will throw in as a gift along with a 400mm by 400mm honeycomb mesh he bought with the machine and the original air assist

It will mostly be for personal use and a small custom engraving business, mostly on everyday items like cases, wood, stone, and water bottles.

So, is this a good deal/choice in the first place? And is there anything I should look for specifically or be wary about?

We will be using a service which will lock my money and the seller won't receive it unless I confirm everything is good after an agreed upon 2 day inspection period.

Should I get the elegoo phecda 10W for my use case?

Hello everyone, I am a student looking to obtain a laser engraver to make a small business and for personal use.

I was originally thinking of buying the parts of a laser engraver and building it on my own but it was going to be very expensive and would be missing key parts, so I found on a local marketplace that's similar to Facebook marketplace someone selling the phecda 10W package 2 brand new (he got it as a gift but didn't want it and didn't even take it out of its package but opened the box only) for the equivalent of 240 dollars.

I will negotiate with him to lower the price more because these things aren't very common in my country and aren't in high demand so they have been sitting with him for more than a month and will help me get an even lower price.

I will mostly be engraving cups and cases and keychains for my business, and maybe wood and some metals and stone and some cutting boards for my personal use. that could change but not by much so it will stay in this area mostly.

Is this engraver good enough for me or is there something else i should consider? Thank you for your time.
