Using like-new items?

What do you think about using used / like-new items (such as CBs), available on sites such as this: https://www.facebook.com/groups/749714058480262/permalink/3026955394089439/

I don't use them myself, just wondering how advisable it is.

    To put that into perspective, I've used a number of second hand Air Circuit Breakers and MCCB's in larger sizes as stop gap replacements on main switchgear, where new replacements are not available. 


    All clearly visible to a client though when faced with £1million for a complete new switchboard or £30K to get back in business until a planned replacement switchboard can be arranged.


    It's perfectly feasible to physically inspect and injection test larger CB's


    The same could be said for transformers, HV switchgear etc


    Have I ever run on part worn tyres - yes, when they were better than the ones on the car, and I was skint
