Roller cams dont really wear out. I would be more concerned about nicks on the lobes or bearing surfaces from either install/removal or shipping. I would buy a used roller cam for sure. Just make sure you upgrade the valvatrain to handle the new lift and rpm.

Good luck

Do it anyway, nothing wrong with a bit of haggling.
