I want to get into digital art, but I'm not sure what drawing tablet I should get. From what I've read and seen, it seems Wacom is the best. I was thinking about getting a used one from eBay, but I don't know if that's a good option. I've also read Amazon reviews of customers, saying theirs stopped working after a while or it didn't work on their OS (I'm on Windows 10). I just don't want to end up getting screwed over. I wanted to ask people who actually know shit about this subject. Would it be alright for me to get a used one or should I just opt for a new one?

I have an Intuos Draw that I recieved as a gift. It works well for drawing and osu! in Linux and is recognized as soon as I plug it in. The pen doesn't use a battery, but I've heard that decreases hover height which is a little annoying in osu but perfectly fine while drawing.
If I had bought one for myself, though, it probably would have been a Huion H610 Pro. Far bigger and the only downside is having to replace the battery occasionally.

Then Jow Forums is the wrong place, as pointed out. You want to ask artists.
Personally I use the same old Wacom I have since 2004 but I can tell you that you should first testdrive tablets if its for you in general. There are people who simply can't get into drawing with graphics tablets. The whole drawing with a pen but looking at the display in the front is something they can't deal with. So, maybe give it a try but don't get too frustrated if it's not working for you. If that's the case, you'd still have the option of getting an actual active tablet with an integrated screen or just a tablet PC with a stylus like a Surface for example or Thinkpad Xt like said.

I have a 1060 from Huion, the peak of non-screen tablets

Yes Wacom is the best.
Mainly their biggest strength is that they have the best drivers and getting a used one is fine. They're usually built like tanks.
I have the 22HD Cintiq, used to have the 13HD but it was a bit too small in the long run.
If you're seriously thinking about getting into art then get one of these tablets with a screen right away. Never could get into drawing without a screen myself. Also it's cheaper just getting the best one right from the get go instead of jumping from low tier model to a mid range one and then getting the best.
I've heard of the Wacom Cintiq alternatives being just fine, so you might want to consider them if Cintiqs are out of your price range.

Intuos draw, definitely! It's what i have and its pretty reliable.

forgot to add, but if you really want a tablet with a screen just get a cintiq.
