Can you use a second hand MagicBand?

If they are used they are useless. They can't be linked to another account once already linked. The only purpose would be if you wanted the band design, and then you'd still have to purchase a new band in order to get a new puck to switch out. You're better off just buying direct from Disney.

My 4 and 2 year old are currently wearing magic bangs and love them. My 4 year old runs to open the door to the room and the 2 year old “checks in” to every ride and park entrance. For $10/$20, it's worth it.

However, even if the long-range battery is no longer working, your MagicBand should still work for any Mickey to Mickey touchpoints, such as entrance tapstyles, Lightning Lane entrances, unlocking the door to your Disney Resort Hotel room, or point of sale terminals when charging purchases to your hotel room folio.

And when it comes to charging your MagicBands – well, it depends on which kind you have! If you purchased an original MagicBand (or MagicBand 2), this style does not need to be charged. When purchased through your My Disney Experience account, this is automatically linked with your account and reservations.

The original MagicBands will still be available for purchase. Guests can use either a MagicBand, MagicBand+ or Disney MagicMobile to enter the park and use basic features.
