Calling all Mac heads

I've been looking into purchasing one of the older Airport Extreme Base Stations (they are selling for 25+ on eBay). Is there anything that I need to be aware of, because I was shocked that they were selling so cheap. I understand there is a new version available, but does the old version still work?

How old? I have one that's gotta be 4 years old anyway. Got it from a guy I worked with about 3 years ago.

The old version works fine, it just doesn't the same features as the new one (basically the new one is faster(N) and the old one is slower(G). As long as it has all the abilities that you need, it should work out great.

Confirmed again - I have the older one and for the typical home user there should be no issues at all.
