If I was going to go new I would look very hard at the Lee ones. But they are much more expensive.
Ironically, the only purchase I ever made off craigslist were cokins, and they were amazing bargains, but I have to tell you that in the past decade or so, I believe that was the only listing for cokins on craigslist (the local craigslist, that is.) I think craigslist is more effective in larger, metro areas, at least if you're looking for a specific item. I don't think I'd buy a used cokin or other resin filter without seeing it first, because scratches are just too easy to happen, and "no scratches" doesn't mean the same thing to everybody.
