Vintage 30s from eBay: worth it?

Hey, I just wanted some opinions:

vintage 30s sell off of eBay for about $65 - 85 (american) apiece.
They sell at music123 for $110.

Is it worth the 20-40% savings to get used speakers that may have
a lot of playing hours on them? Or should I just save up a bit more and
get the brand new ones?

O my Gawd!
I just got v30s from avatar speakers for $79 each, plus an input jack and wiring for the inside of the cab for $24 more. They're shipping the order today. I'm sure their prices change, so if anybody else goes to them, don't hold them to the prices I quoted.

Yow. Thanks so much for the tip.

if you use the search function, i had a thread with dave's quote's on all the celstion and eminence speakers they stock.

the prices on the new eminence line i beleive has gone up a few bucks.

but for new speakers he pretty much has the best prices around.
