Dave,

I wouldn't buy used lines from ebay.  I purchased these from someone I  knew through a forum, but someone I have met and know how they take care of their equipment.  If you go to fly shows, some of the vendors will have used lines.  They usually get them when they buy reels and if they are any good, they strip them off. Then you can look at them and make sure they are not cracked and do not have a memory of being on the reel.

I usually buy these for casting practice or to round out the line weights I don't have and they go for $10-15. If they only last a half a season, I'm still ahead.

Or if you're cheap like me, keep your WF line on one inexpensive reel and your DT on another inexpensive reel. That way you don't have to fumble around with spare spools and it's less labor than unspooling.

Some rules I work with are:

 Spare spools of different reels are nice, but you can pull the line off and store it in a loose coil in a ziplock bag as well.  It isn't quick change but it doesn't take that much time to respool a line.
