I have purchased several used cartridges over the years. I'ld say about 80% of the cartridges were fine. Shure V15-III HE / Empire 2000Z / Empire EDR 9 / AT 33 ML OCC / Ortofon CG25DI MKII / Denon DL103D.
I purchased the Denon knowing it was bad, and I eventually sent it to SS for a ruby level rebuild. Excellent cartridge at a total cost of less than a new comparable cartridge.
Just my experience.
