Nearly every component in my system, including my preamp, was purchased used, either on here or the other major resale site. The only things that were purchased from a dealer were my speakers but I bought them as demo models, and my turntable, also a demo. Preamp should be absolutely fine as a used purchase. Would probably avoid buying a TT used unless you can pick it up in person. Too many little fiddly moving parts that could get damaged in transit.
