Yes. If they look good and clean. Less risk from a safety stand point. I believe they highly recommend not purchasing used car seats because it has greater safety risk.
Yep! I did...I have a Bjorn-type carrier and a hotsling that I got used (for VERY good prices). As long as they are clean and/or I can clean them myself, it doesn't matter to me....a lot of my stuff is second hand....SNG included....
The Knot won't share my Bump Siggy, so here's the low-down:

8/31/08 - Got married (to my best friend)!
12/30/08 - Got Pregnant!
9/3/09 - Welcome to the world, Elias Solomon!
8/16/10 - Got Pregnant, again!
5/14/11 - Welcome to the world, Talia Hadassah!
1/14/12 - Ready or not, here comes #3 (EDD 9/27/12)
Yes, all of our carriers are used. I have put them all in the washing machine and then hung to dry and they were fine. I just look at them online or at the store so that you know what they latest models look like. I made the mistake of buying an older Bjorn at a consignment sale and it had these really annoying snaps instead of the nicer clips that they have now and are so much easier. I was only out $10 so it wasn't a biggie. People sell these things constantly though and I couldn't stand to pay full price. There's a website for just this-buying and selling. Someone will post it, I can't remember.

Yes, you save alot of $$ that way. Just make sure the seams are not ripped and stitching looks in good shape. Esp a moby, its just a big piece of fabric.

What is SNG? I can't figure it out.
SNG = Snap 'n Go....technically not a carrier, but I was just putting that out there...I also have a used swing...things are so much cheaper if you buy them used.....

I think we used our carrier twice - once at a GTech football game and once in FL on vacation, so if it is gently used, I would. Our daughter was not of fan of it, so you might not want to spend the money on a new one unless you know they will like it.
