Smile reusing a used spec stage 3

i have a spec stage 3 currently on my car with about 2k miles on it. i was planning on doing things to my car thats why i bought the stage 3, but then i ran into some money issues so i wasnt able to do anything. now that i have a little money, i was thinking of replacing it with a king cobra stage 1 because i dont need the power of the stage 3 and it grips a lot! also the pedal is a bit stiff for my liking. so my question was, if i sell it to someone is it still usable? btw, it was used on a resurfaced flywheel, just saying..

there shouldn't be any issue with that. people sell used ones all the time when they wreck their car or decide they need a stronger clutch.

btw, how much do you think i can get out of it? i got it for like $310 or somewhere around that price range online. i know i can sell the pressure plate and the disk. how bout the TOB? im not too educated in the transmission area. im actually taking classes right now. thats why i want to replace it now so i can do something to my car with the help of teachers. also, to take advantage of the lift. haha

so youd spend more on a stage 2 than a stage 3? hah did i read that right? well yeah, how many miles did it have when you bought it? and did you buy just the disk and pressure plate?

tob's are pretty cheap so why not just buy a new one of them. if the bearing only has 2000 miles on it chances are it will be jsut fine also. but why not just replace it and the pilot bearing right away to save the hassle of possibly having to tear it all apart again before clutch failure.
