From second hand I pesonally would prefer Intel. AMD are usually less expensive when purchased new, but offer less safety features in regards of overheating, overclocking and other abuse. Intel's are guarded casual consumer products and I would assume there is more Intel out there, that has seen little use and should run sturdy for years to come.
Buying second hand the chance the processor has been driven hard is maybe less likely for Intel. The advantage you have with AMD being cheaper shrinks in the second hand market. There is also just more Intel out there.
AMD traditionally offers more power for less money and you can also fiddle with it a lot. I destroyed multiple AMD processors. There are just more tools to mess with AMD and it is so much fun. They advanced a lot in reliability.
As others have pointed out, it is much more complicated.
