[red-beard]

I bought used tires in college, when one was un-repairable.

I've used, previously used parts on cars. I regularly traded out sets of brake discs, then had the other set turned.

In fact, I think I have used "used" brake shoes. I had a junk yard car I was slowly installing on my college car. I know I took the disc brakes and drums off that car. I think it had recently had a brake job and the pads and shoes were nearly new. If I remember correctly, discs, shoes, drums, calipers, etc, all around, maybe $25...

I should have made a deal with the junk yard and paid a fixed fee for that wreck!
