 The 40' tower I have now, granted it is modest in size, is built from recycled 
rhon 25-g. I repainted the sections (camo so it blends in quite well) and it 
has a 15' mast pole mounted on top for my 2 meter antennas.
 This tower is as good as anything bought brand new, no corrosion etc.
 I plan on taking it down adding a few sections  and moving it to NC. when I 
move in the next year or so.
 Used towers are a no brainier, most ,if not all of any damage is obvious.

 I paid $0 for my tower sections, donated by other hams and scavenged from old 
TV antenna towers. One section I had to cut off a 2' section that was damaged, 
so I ended up with a 8' section instead of a 10'.

 All in all, there is nothing wrong with recycled parts.
