I want to invest in one, but I'm not really sure which one to get. I'll probably buy 2nd hand on Ebay or craigslist. I'm an amatuer designer and I'lll mostly be using the tablet to ink on illustrator and paint in photoshop. I would like to spend less than $80 on ebay, but I'll probably go up to $125 if it's worth it.
Any advice?
 
I've got a bamboo in the small, and the only thing I can say is make sure you get a larger size. The writing surface is only about 10x15cm.

You can zoom in, but staying in a tiny square is kind of annoying but with whatever you buy you'll get used to it.

Also drawing on a small screen and watching another takes some getting used to, it's tricky at first but when you get it it beats a mouse for sure.

Also, the intuos series are apparently the shit
 
I currently use the bamboo pen. I like it for painting in photoshop and using brushes in ps and illustrator. But since my hands are so shaky I rarely use it unless im painting, or using it as an extra mouse. Also mine came with correl paint and some INK program that I have yet to figure out.
 
I bought the bamboo the other day but it doesnt have any buttons on the side so im going to return it for another one. Theyre really fun though. deviantart has a bunch of tutorials on painting with a tablet.
 
Okay, I'm thinking that a 6x4 or 6x8 intuos3 is my best option. Anywhere else besides ebay or craiglist that has good deals on these?
 
Bought the intuos 2 (6"x8"). I'll be sure to post some of my work soon.
