Ya I do that way I know where it's been.
I recently bought a used transponder. When it came it needed a complete new lead. The wired were cut next to the transpnder, cut mid wire andthe neg was only holding on by a few strands. Th picture dis not show this damage. All to save $20 so I spent 5-7 on parts to make it right again. The bottom line is yo get what you pay for and buying from someone that you know goes a long way in my book. I sell stuff at the track all the time when guys need parts, servos etc. Thy buy from me because they know I don't sell junk. So nothing wrong with used but you are taking a chance.
