If you are out of warranty and it goes, it's whatever it costs to get one to get you out of where you are - your garage=mail order for a new one and wait two days. $399. Tow to dealer and they put it in = diagnostics plus install plus unit = maybe $500 or much more. If you have a new one in the trunk, you have the luxury of a swap with a torx driver and five minutes. You could do that on the highway, and if it didn't work, you are no worse off. If you buy a used one, it'd be a good idea to try it immediately to see if it works. DON'T buy a red one if yours is black. there are lot's of red ones for sale and they don't swap - they are older.
Looking at the survey that was done ( link a few posts below) about 80 people responded and half had failures, but this list is very busy, and I'd suspect that more owners of failed cassettes responded, proportionately, than those who hadn't been burned. (In other words, this is an occassional, not frequent thing). My dealer's service rep said they had a few (and that was after I bought the car).
One might want to know why the seller has a used one.
