Default Any cons to using a old or used b and m cooler

I just bought a Vig 3200-3400 lock up triple disc converter and was looking to install it this weekend and happened to stumble across this in craigslist.

"B&M "Supercooler" that measures 10" x 11" x 1 1/2" thick. It was advertised for vehicles with a 26,000lb GVW for $20.00"

Called the guy he said it had not been used much but is old like 4 5 or 8 years I cannot remember which one he said. He said it is in good shape.

Should I go for the used one or just get a new one for like $100?
Its not like I don't have the money to buy a new one, but it would be nice to save the extra $ if there is no difference.
I'm new to this tranny stuff so have no clue. thanks guys!

Hey:

As long as the condition is good it really shouldn't matter, the thing is you have to trust him on the condition, just like any other used part... I say if you feel comfortable with him go for it and save some cash to mod something else.

The only way you could get screwed here is if it has a leak (very unlikely) or if it's smashed flat.
