I can't say yes or no about hotilkux. But I received a used Apollo 600w bulb once. I simply wrote a message to the seller and he sent me a free new one. Told me to keep the old one.
How much more do they cost at the grow sahop?

If they don't cost much more. Just buy em at the shop. Easier to deal with defects, questions, etc

I've heard many places sell used as new. Shops and online retailers.

I bought a Eyehortilux super hps 600 from Amazon.. Sold and shipped by Amazon in Prime and mine was new.. there was a review that said they shipped a "used" bulb..I ordered mine July of last year because I read this comparision... http://growace.com/blog/the-best-hps-grow-bulb-test-comparing-6-brands-on-par-output/... even though the review is for 1000 watt, liked the brand results on the review... been happy but time for a new one now, not sure which one yet.

See if any scratches on it from where u screw it in.. look for any color besides crystal clear on glass. Shop I get mine etch in the metal when u buy to show its used.

Check the arc tube. If both ends are black that's a good sign.

Except that if you read the hortilux they say right on the bulb that they are started at the factory to ensure working bulbs. I would rather have my bulb pre started than receive a dud.
