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?

You can get into a better calibre of equipment buying used.  I bought my amps used and paid about 1/2.... they were about a year and a half old and mint so it was a no brainer.....   

My latest component rarely appears used so I just bit the bullet and bought new...   it was a tremendous value for the money so no regrets.

My tuner is a certified used Magnum Dynalab.  Sent mine in for repair and got a generous trade in on a tuner I could otherwise never afford.  Again, simple choice.
