I think it all depends on the player in question, the amount of wear, whether the stick was used in a game of significance (or can be proven to have been used in a game, as opposed to practice), and the fact that players can go through a pile of sticks every season, meaning they aren't all that scarce, as compared to other pieces of equipment. I believe Pro Stock sticks tend to be far less durable than sticks intended for consumer use, because the design is more oriented toward performance. So if you are buying a used stick to actually use it yourself, you may find that it performs better than the one you buy down at Sport Chek, but it will also probably not last very long in comparison.
