I spotted a used ColorMunki on ebay for $100. Is there any reason I'd ever need a new one or would it work forever?

colormunki works great for me
used one should work the same as a new one
Yeah, pretty much. I have a ColorMunki Display that I think I bought around 2012 and it still works fine, and the design is supposed to be more resistant to aging and drift. A used one in good condition should likely still work the same way a new one would if you're mainly looking to get better colour accuracy and consistency across different screens/devices, and you're not concerned about having the absolute highest accuracy possible (since you need extra equipment to even check things like that). I personally bought a cheap spectro a couple of years ago to start making corrections for my Colormunki on different screen types, but I don't know if the Colormunki itself has changed much in its readings since I originally got it.
