I want to take FARE and BEC in early Jan and late Feb, and since I will be devoting all my time and energy from now until then, I think it's possible. REG and AUD in April/May (unless I fail an earlier one, in which case I'll keep taking that until I pass, etc)

Since 2010 Becker materials aren't out I've considered getting started with Becker 2009. I see folks on Craigslist/Amazon/Ebay selling their '09 materials for pretty cheap, and I was wondering whether it would be wiser to buy the 2009 materials for FARE and BEC now and then supplement with the Becker 2010 review, instead of buying the entire Becker 2010 set.

$3600+ compared to what I've been seeing on Craigslist makes me think twice about purchasing the entire 2010 set. 6 months from now, people will be selling 2010 materials as well, so I am strongly inclined to purchase through those means.

Is there anything wrong with buying used Becker materials from Craigslist/Amazon/Ebay? (besides the whole pass guarantee, etc..)

The things with Becker material is that it expires. If you buy the material from someone else you dont know how long you have till the licence expires. Another thing is I made the same mistake and purchased final review material on ebay only to find out that I did not have the software cd and the guy was selling that separately and he failed to mention it to me. So I spent $135 and could not do anything with it. He wanted another $135 for the software. I could have spent $200 something and got it from Becker themselves. I would not buy any material of ebay unless you are willing to take the risk. If Becker is too costly you can go with Yaeger. Its just as good and less expensive as compared to Becker.
