Gentlemen,

Motherboards do not wear out. If they are kept cool and fed properly with the right electricity, they are not life limited.

second hand motherboards are fine. If you are buying online though (off ebay, craiglist whatever) only pay through paypal. If it turns out the seller is iffy and the board is dead, you can start a dispute through paypal and get your money back, so there is no risk, it is safe :)

Yea but I also buy from someone with a 100% feedback and look at previous buy/sell transactions from the potential seller.

Yes, you are protected, but do as Remeniz says and try to go for a reputable seller, just less chance of there being any problems
