Celica gearbox pleeeeze help

My gearbox out of my 3S-GE has a 5th gear the pops out under any kind of load.
I took a look and the gear + clutch ring are worn and need replacing. My second gear is a bit crunchy on fast changes, but no big deal.
No problem. I have now got all new parts except the gear itself from Toyota, my last quote for the gear being $400.
I met a guy today who has a gearbox out of the same model car as mine, and will give me the gearbox for a good price. He says his third gear is very sus, but he reckons the rest of the box is fine.
I don't want to buy it and then find that I will be mating an overly worn gear with my new clutch ring. (I can't remember if that is its exact name - the ring the fits on the gear that the clutch fork slides over)
My question is, what should I be expecting to pay him for the box with it's damaged third gear? I just need 5th, but don't know whether I should just fork out the big bucks and get a new one.
I would love any assistance you can give me. Thanks a mill
