I have never bought any used rc engine off Ebay yet and don't intend to for reasons already outlined.

I've been reading on rcgroups forum and one guy claims his OS 46ax has done about 350 hours of flying time. This means approx. 2000+ flights.

Very interesting, one guy(in this thread) reckons he has done 270 flights using an OS 55AX and not worn out yet, this works out to approx. 45 hours flying time. Does this sound reasonable to you?...
