E.S.
Ummm. Not exactly.
Medela makes pumps that are for single users only. Other pumps are made so that milk can only go one way and Medela pumps are made so that milk can go either way (in the tubing that is).
There is a technical term for it, I just read a big article on it recently. Very interesting (and sad) to learn that Medela is not a honest to goodness breastfeeding friendly company. They break a lot of legal rules when it comes to advertising.
Anyhow! Sorry, not answering the question...
So, they are technically not safe for multiple users because there could be milk contamination. I would not try to sell it. BUT if you have a family member or friend that would be comfortable using it..go for it.
I have 2. One my SIL gave me.

Ok here is the article I read: http://justwestofcrunchy.com/2011/01/19/the-problems-with...
If you go down past the picture of the pump it talks about closed and open operating systems.
Hope this helps!
ETA: Just in case you don't read my links and because there seems to be some confusion..the tubing, shield, whatnot is NOT the issue w/ sharing pumps. Those things can be sanitized. It's the MOTOR that is the issue. You cannot replace/clean the motor...
