Demo/Used- what would you prefer?

when buying stereo equipment i seldom buy new. Therefor its either Demo stuff or privatly used stuff.. But what is to prefer? The demo things are used less i believe, but when they are used in the shop they are pushed to the limits.. Hifi people often treat equipment like their own babies, but you never know what is done to it. many like to open it up and snoop around, maybe modify something.. spooky stuff like taking off the plastic of pieces inside..i dont know.. What do you prefer?

some used items can be truly as new, but only if the first owner cared for them anal retentively, which is hardly the norm.

I'd say demo or cosmetic "b" stock is best way to get cheap, followed by well cared for used pieces. I'd stay away from used stuff with red flags or any form of refurbished product, though.
