As long as you understand that what you're buying doesn't have ttl and also has a pretty poor reliability record, and as long as it's cheap enough, then it's worth a go.
You can buy a new one on Amazon for about GBP60 and it will have a 12 month guarantee which Amazon will honour. So, a s/h one on eBay with no such guarantee can't be worth more than 1/2 the new price.
It works, is fairly powerful and is certainly very cheap.
I bought one about 18 months ago for a particular purpose and because it was a risky situation that I didn't want to put the SB-900 through - but it survived and is still working.
