I strongly agree with that. The used K3 that was listed here a few days
ago would be a great choice. When I got back on the air in 2003 after a
long time off, I bought a used Omni V, then a TS-850, and later an
FT-1000MP. For all but the MP, I was able to sell the rig for close to
what I paid. The two K3s I own are the only rigs I've bought new since a
Ten Tec Omni D in 1980.

If money is an issue (i.e. you're not part of the 1%), then I think
buying a used rig is a great way to go. If you don't like it or
decide to upgrade then you can sell it for close to what you paid for
it. Think of it as renting a radio while you get some operating
experience. After you've been on the air for a year or so, you will
have a much better idea of what you want and can make a more-informed
purchase.
Something like a used K2/100 would make a great starter rig
