As with all electronic goods, there will always be secondhand console servers on the market. However, it is more advisable to buy a brand new unit. New console servers are accompanied by warranties, which means that any malfunctions can and should be handled by the manufacturer. Buying used console servers is risky as you have no information on their durability or integrity. The lack of warranty means you have no guarantee that they will not break down after two weeks of use, and there is no coverage for expensive repairs should they malfunction or become damaged.
