Buying Used Monitors That "need repair"

I saw some used rokit 6's on musicians friend that fall under the "class D" rating and claim "This product needs repair, but can be brought back to full playability." and also that states "If you are a do-it-yourselfer or know a skilled repairman, this is a terrific value and usually requires replacement of parts or some skilled repair work. " I was wondering what you guys think about buying used gear - how much do these repairs usually cost?

the problem seems to be that "it does not produce any output and is missing the power cable." sounds like an easy fix except I expect that the reason it doesnt produce any output maybe a bit more complex than just a missing power cable.

Its my first time buying monitors, the krk's seemed like the best for the money - what would you reccomend for around the same price?
