How many people here generally buy used?

Just curious. Most of my equipment I purchased new. My Firstwatt J2 was a demo that I swear was new. Outside of a DAC where latest tech may be desired, buying used (if a fair price) seems to be a great way to purchase something you normally would not be able to afford. Of course, condition, care of component etc needs to be taken into consideration

Thoughts?

Just like buying a car, always buy used and let someone else deal with the depreciation off the lot. Finding an amazing deal is a big part of the shopping experience for me and part of the reason I enjoy this hobby so much. As someone who also likes to swap gear around (hold for a few components) every 6-10 months, not taking that huge hit of lost value makes it much more bearable.
