If you do buy it you'll probably wanna take it in to your local music store and get it set up.
I have a Jackson Rhoads RR1 and I love it, not to sure what the Dk2 is like but i'll have a look
around and ask some people see what people say about it.

I did a little searching, no one I know own's one but it did get decent reviews from around the web.

http://www.ultimate-guitar.com/reviews/electric_guitars/jackson/dk2_dinky/index.html - Overall rating 9/10 from the editor at UG but a overall of 7/10 from the users.

http://reviews.harmony-central.com/reviews/Guitar/product/Jackson/DK2+Dinky/10/1 - Average reader rating is in the box above and if you scroll down you will find single user based opinions

http://www.zzounds.com/item--JAC2901000 - 68 people gave this an 8/10 with 8 user reviews in the box to the right.

Overall it doesn't look like a terrible starter guitar bro. And I'd bargain it down to like 250, seeing as it is pretty old.

My buddy uses a Jackson USA soloist. It's made in Japan, so it has a bolt on neck, instead of being a one piece. Idk about the Dk2's but the Soloist is a great guitar.
