Breaking or wearing out a sebenza?

[Peter Hartwig]

One final, question, is there any reason not to buy one second hand? EG warranty etc

Warranty is not a problem. I have bought on the secondary market many times. I think it is best to buy on an exchange such as BF vs Ebay-on BF there are many knowledgeable members that will expose any fakes, plus most members plan to be here a long time and are not going to be willing to tarnish their reputation over a sale. It still is a good idea to do your homework and ask the right questions.
