Not these days, and not for a DNA20 for sure. For that kind of money you can buy one of several decent quality new Chinese 20-30w regulated mods with larger and/or replaceable batteries and have change left over for a nice topper. Heck, you can even get a HM Mini DNA30 clone for $50 or less if you really like the look and feel.
One of the reasons (besides prestige and patriotism) that people pay the high price for a genuine Hana (or Vapor Shark, etc) is for the warranty and peace of mind, and you can bet that "old" DNA20 mod is no longer covered by warranty.

Kinda depends on the length of time it was used for and the load put on that battery every day imo. If i'm not mistaken those Hana mini's come with a built in LiPo. Batteries don't last forever. And at some point it will need replacing by Hana. Secondly 20 watts for 85$ is high to me, but i'm fine with china crap. Its probably not a bad price considering its an original, but that's more of a personal question i guess.
I've seen full size authentic Hana DNA30's going for $75 on Ebay and Amazon on a good sale...

There's one in the classies right now for less.
TBH, my SX Zero clone is nicer and more versatile, and was $82. Spring loaded 510, heavy duty SS and real rosewood, and 50W.
For that matter the new istick 30W and 50W would be better buys IMO. Or the Cloupor Mini.

When you buy a used Hana you are only purchasing a NAME at a high price.
Hana backed their mods to original owners so the mod had a better value to owners. None the less, they only built a BOX to put someone else chip in.
Same as any other company selling genuine DNA Boxes.
You have to decide and do for you. Personally, I would pass.

B&M is always going to be more expensive -- but if he will support you if you encounter issues thats more convenient t shipping things back and forth after an online purchase.
if your pinching pennies buy online -- if you like the mod and are willing to pay a premium from the local b&m buy it from them... if it were me i think id buy an ipv3 or something instead for almost the same coin.

Thanks for the input everyone, im gonna pass on it and shop around for one. Can someone on here reccomend a site besides fasttech or ebay where i can get a decent dna 30 clone?

What about the ipv mini? I really like mine. About $50 and at least its a Yihi chip.
There's an ipv2s in the classies that looks nice.

I'd stay away from clones. Get something with an Evolv or YiHi chip. While the jury on the Evolv chip is still out for me (haven't used one long enough), it's got a great reputation and I have had luck with YiHi. The chips I've used from Cloupor and Smok died in around a month.
This is a good deal if you want an Evolv chip. You can't change the battery (you couldn't on the Hana either), but it's got an authentic DNA chip.
Vapor Shark DNA Batteries and Accessories | VaporShark.com
There may be some coupon codes for Vapor Shark if you dig a bit as well (not sure though).
You can get a brand new Vapor Shark DNA 30 right now for $99.99. That's for a brand new device with the newer DNA 30 board in it. I'd say $85 is too high for the Hana you mentioned.
Plus there are devices like the iStick 30 watt out for under $50.00.

Get an Istick 30 or wait for an Istick 50 - less money with a guarantee and down regulation + smaller form factor.
