I never bought used computer parts. Are these parts generally reliable for ~2 years when bought used?

I regularly buy used hardware. It fails when it fails, same as the new stuff. Is there a higher probability? Possibly, but at the small sample sizes I'm at I can't feel the difference. Feels random either way.
