I want to buy new speakers for 50,000 and see it used for 30,000, what should I do?

As an engineer I've purchased many speakers and helped many clients purchase speakers. 
 

step 1. What are you looking for ?  Size.  Sound.  Etc.
 

A budget number is a terrible idea as your basis.  There are $15,000 speakers that better 60,000 speakers yet only when you know what you're looking for 

step 2. Synergy is more important than any one speaker or amp etc.  
 

step 3. Buy something you think you can use forever.  It will likely not happen that way but it's your goal.  

What I’m surprised at is the number of people still treating this as though it’s a serious thread. I admit it was entertaining for a while, but even that’s running thin at this point.

Offer $25k for the new speakers.

There's a little profit margin there for them to work with.

If it makes you feel better, those 50k speakers will be worth 30k after you buy them. Just like a 50k car after you drive it off the lot.

It depends on how much $20,000 means to you.... if it is nothing then buy new. If it is something then go look at and listen to them before you buy used. I've bought several used speakers and always worked out but not at the price range you are looking at.
