With the exception of the Goldring that came with my MMF-5 and a Denon DL-103, all of my cartridges have been used.
That has included:
Dynavector 20XL (two), 20xH, Karat 17D2 (arrived in good order but destroyed by friend, doh!)
Grado Platinum
Koetsu Rosewood Signature (playing now as I type this).
Unless a deal was terrific (i.e. I recently purchased a Zu 103 new for less then the used were going for--that doesn't count though as I resold it new w/o ever mounting it) I PREFER to buy used. Yes there is more risk of dishonest sellers, but you can often get a feeling of the persons integrity from a conversation or two and use your best judgment.
