To buy or not to buy a used cartridge?


As a general recommendation, is it risky buying used cartridges? What is your experience from those who have bought cartridges used? Is it best just to bite the bullet and buy new? You can get much more cartridge for your money buying used.

Similar to tubes, it seems dicey to think that the estimates that people give of hours they have put on a cartridge are very accurate.

I have bought literally dozens of used cartridges, and while it is an extreme risk because half are no good, the price is right, and often there are treasures that compensate for money wasted on the others. All you need to know is that you will get stuck half the time. To me, that rare jewel is worth the risk, though.
