Just wondering what your views are on purchasing a second-hand camera?

The camera in question is a Canon EOS 300D which is from LCE for £250 (UK)

Now I'm probably being over careful but my main thoughts are to say no because it's second-hand and a high-precision instrument. I just read on dpreview.com that the 300D is also discontinued - how does this fare?

My mum has had a lot of dealings with LCE with her camcorders and has been very pleased with their customer services and after-sales support but I'm still quite unsure about it all...

EDIT: I also have a Canon EOS 3000N and I believe the lenses can be used on both cameras.
