new gear vs used gear


another thread got me thinking about this,how much of your current rig was bought new & how much of it was bought here on audiogon or ebay.

out of the 14 seperate pcs of gear im currently running 12 were bought on audiogon & 2 were bought at a dealer.

this isnt a dealer bashing thread i was just curious as to the numbers & why you choose to buy used or new.

My buying habits have been on small ticket items say 1k and below , interconect`s, power cable`s , issolation devices, I tend to buy used. On big ticket item`s say 5K I look for dealer demo`s you get good discounts but you will receive full warrenty w/o the BS of transferable warrenties I just purchased a BAT vk-51se dealer demo w tax I paid the same there as they are going for used here. Overall I would say 75% new 25% used. David
