What do people do with their AIP / ERSA / charts once they've passed the IREX exam? Just wondering if it's smarter for me to try to buy a near-new set from someone who has just recently passed their IREX, rather than buying a new set but not really using them ever again after passing the exam (because we all access documents electronically in 2024, don't we?). Is there a second-hand market for these resources? Just feels like a waste of money (& paper & ink!) for every candidate in Australia to buy all these documents brand new, only to be used once.

I agree it is a total waste, just make certain if you do buy second hand it is totally up to date, the last you want is to fail because your documents are out of date, it makes the few bucks you save useless if you have to pay for a second exam.
