Mostly used for anything that is over $200 msrp. That being said, some items are just too hard to find used so I've broken down and purchased them new. I really like buying used because I don't have to hit on depreciation. So, if I get a piece and live with it for a while and need to move on, I can usually sell it on for little or no loss. For me, half the fun is trying different components which I could never afford to do buying new.
I think it's a win for more boutique brands as well to have a strong secondary market. I like Decware gear for instance and they host a classified section in their forum which shows a lot of confidence in the product and community.
