How much should I pay for a used Kinetico Dechlorinator to add to my 2060 so I can use it for city water?

Can you describe the unit a little more? Is is a backwashing system or an upflow tank?
Regardless, it may need to be rebedded.

Well, it is Kinetico, and it looks just like the same size and color as the 2060 resin tank. (black)
I don't even know what the new price should be. I like to know a good price for used. Thank you!

So it's a single tank, not a twin, right? If it is the same size and a single tank, then it will contain 3/4 cubic foot of carbon (GAC). This is something you can actually make yourself s long as you have the connection parts to plumb into your water service.
I like upflow tanks for their simplicity and easy of eventual maintenance. They also provide excellent flow rates. I might recommend a sediment prefilter to protect it against the occasional water-main break that happens sometimes with municipal water systems. On good water, they last nearly "forever".
KDF media is also an excellent way to remove chlorin problems and last about seven times longer than carbon but cost about twice as much. These would be used in small replaceable cartridges rather than larger filters.
