No

Just stupid fearmongering driving down mining gpu prices, might aswell take advantage of it and grab a deal

It really depends. If you really think you can afford a 100 dollars, then I recommend a new(used) GPU. But tbh, if you do buy a mined GPU from a reputable source, all it will need is some cleaning, and then the performance would only be a difference of 1% to 5% at the most. It's always very uneven and risky. You need to hope for the best when getting one .
