A possible forth option is to wait for something better to come along, like my late model Yamaha RX-777 (100 wpc into 8 ohms) that I got for $50 off CL.There are 3 ways to look at it, assuming it is in nice condition:
1) They sell for ~$25-$40 on eBay, so with shipping you'd be well over the $45 if you bought one there. If you want one, you're better off buying the local one. You'll save money ,and you have the advantage that you can see and touch it before you buy. Even a $15 eBay "score" will end up costing you ~$50 to get to your door.
2)$45 is indeed on the high end for one, so if you're looking for a great deal, pass it up.
3) You can probably buy it for $45, and make a small profit parting it out on eBay. (please don't do this )
I'd say one in mint condition that's been serviced is WELL worth that price
