I'm told it's bad to reuse a used clutch, is this true?

Doing a T56 swap, the trannie I'm getting has a centerforce dual friction clutch with only a few hundreded miles on it, but the guy selling it insists that I should not reused a used clutch? It is to my understanding that when most people do the t56 swap they get the clutch and all from the donar car... but in any case is this true or not? I don't see how there can be anything wrong with something thats practically brand new.. anyways someone plz let me know on this! thanks

Well, he has been using it so he must know what it is worth. On the other hand, " if it ain't broke don't fix it".
Personally I would sell it and buy something better, like a McLeod.
