I have purchased blades from lpsharp, all the time. The used ones, to me don't last as long, as new ones, but in this economy, save where you can.

Ditto - this is what LPSharp recommends, and it makes sense. Wheels need grease to turn smoothly, and rotary blades are small wheels. You can 'clean' the part of the blade that cuts the fabric by running it through a couple layers of scraps before cutting your 'good' fabric. I've NEVER damaged my fabric with oil from a blade - and it's on the edge of the seam allowance anyway!
