I am starting to see the advantage of buying new (or factory close-out DUI like new). Why spend hours searching and gamble on a drysuit that could double as a spagetti collander? Bite the bullet, buy new and sell in 7 to 10 years for half what you paid and buy new again.

One nice thing about buying and returning my CL Nexgen suit; the $250 became seed money for my "drysuit fund envelope" which sits in my desk drawer and has grown to about $485 in just a few weeks. I've never been one to save, but I will have to admit this is working out nicely.

I want in on some of that interest(rate).....j/k'ing........as my daddy once told me, it doesn't cost any more to go 1st class, you just can't stay as long......I think you're heading in the right direction......
 
I came across a great deal on a new dry suit years ago, probably my best investment in diving. Sure the initial lay out of $$ was still big (especially at the time) but I probably would have gone through 3 wetsuits by now so i'd say it's even. And this whole time I've been warm, a dive is completely different when you aren't freezing. Keep your eyes open for a good suit new or used and hopefully you will have better luck next time, I'm sure glad I didn't go through that.
