Then I have another group of friends who not only agree with me, but believes buying used parts it is just asking for trouble. You may save so money compared to a brand new part. But soon enough you'll have to either replace those used parts or have to fix them which after all prices would be the same as if I had purchased brand new parts to begin with. - I also like the "break in" part.
But what's everyone's thoughts on used parts ?
