Importing a projector to the US from Germany

I have a projector in Germany that I bought for a modest price and I want to ask my friend to bring it to US (where I currently live). I was wondering will he end up paying import taxes? And is there anyway to avoid such a payment.
The projector is used (actually I bought a second-hand one from ebay), and I imagine for that reason it should be exempted from import tax, but I would appreciate to get some guidance from the people who are more familiar with the issue.
