I bought used gears from a guy at work...so I got to look at them real close like. Different from eBay where you can't really see the wear pattern that gears put on themselves. If someone locally has gears for sale that you can visually inspect, then go for it...buying used gears on eBay is iffy.

hell the gears i took out of my rear with 130k miles on them have no wear on them at all. so buying used gears isnt a problem unless they are trashed

buy used only if you can inspect them closely in person with them in your hands. other than that, buy new ones.
