Looking for a used M9 on ebay and stumbled upon these:

Does anyone have an M9 or gut pics to know if I could literally build an M9 with these boards and some footswitches and LEDs?
I'm guessing that it would be cheaper to buy a new M9 with a discount code than to buy the rest of the parts and assemble that board. 9 footswitches, a display, a control board and an enclosure, plus any connectors, would add up.
I bought a new one last year for $229 shipped.

+1. Sometimes units like this are parted out because the subcomponents are worth more individually than the assembled unit.

Black Friday through Thanksgiving weekend many places have 20%-30% off. Check the guitar and gear forums around that time, TGP, /r/guitar etc.
I've done the calculations and it would cost roughly $250 to put one together with footswitches and an enclosure, which is what they are going for used at Guitar Center.
What would you guys say, DIY spirit or buy used?

For me, no question: buy used. If you buy it from GC and it doesn't work, you can send it back.
