The clarification came here:

Q: I'm trying to clarify 5.3.4.4 and the answer to question 1318. Are there restrictions to buying used parts and accounting for the used price? Does the seller still have to meet the requirements of a VENDOR?
A: A used part from a previous robot must be accounted for using the part's undepreciated value. If you buy a used part, you must use its fair market value. The vendor must qualify as a legal vendor according to the definitions in Section 5.2 and modified in Team Update #02.

There are two issues. The one off your old robot is illegal, as you must use the undepreciated price (new price) which is approximately $300. You can buy it used from a legal vendor, but nobody has stepped forward with one, and I doubt anyone will.
