I shop for used science kits all the time. However, I want value. Yes, most of the time the best online deals are at Good Will online. Certain companies, such as Quality Science Labs or Lab-Aids have terrific kits. I paid full price for the Lab-Aids Molecules of Life and DNA kits. (We use these kits in both Bio and Chem.) I buy the Innovating Science Blood Test kits at eBay, usually. (It’s just easier than making up my own fake blood.) These are new, unopened kits at a discounted price. Otherwise, I look for used kits—even for the Chemistry kits. I have loads of chemicals; most of the time the ones in the kit are fine. Here’s the thing. The good kits are hard to find. Too often they are over priced on eBay. My goal-price for a QSL kit is $50, including shipping.
QSL kits are jammed packed with goodies. I especially like the Physics and the Chemistry kits. The MicroChem kit recommended for the Apologia Chemistry program looks like the QSL kit.
Lab-Aids and Innovating Science also have good kits. I like the blood test kit from Innovating Science.
The Lab-Aids Molecules of Life Kit is also a keeper.
