Depends on what it is Scott.... I'd rather have a set of Used Carrillo rods
then a brand new set of eagles....( not that they are bad...they just aren't
as good )
Quality lasts the lifetime of the component...
Money saved never outweighs the quality over time... or at least that's the
way it's been in my life... So I'm not afraid of used.... but it's going
to be the best part going...
