Interesting.  The price is certainly attractive.

That's sort of like buying a used pacemaker.  It'll probably work out alright.

True but they are still just fine for loading practice ammo, if you can get them.  I have recovered thousands of primers from old/unreliable/mystery ammo and believe it or not, they go bang better than 99% of the time.  Still, I wouldn't want that one old mystery dud primer to come up during a big match that I had traveled to and paid a lot of money to shoot in and get to, so I use them to load practice and regular "home" match ammo where I won't get too cranky if one turns out to be a dud.  I don't give them to Bullion Rose to shoot in her guns, though -- I have a reloading reputation to maintain at home in order to preserve domestic tranquility.
