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.

Everything other than two pieces bought new. The two pieces purchased otherwise were as new dealer demo's.

However I have sold a number of components and accessories on Audiogon. I have had very good results selling on this site as opposed to E-Bay. At the Audiogon site you are dealing with individuals who 1) know what they are looking at and 2) know what equipment is worth.

100% new, even with my activity here at audiogon I just don't like buying used gear. But I do my best to keep the used market busy as I upgrade :o)
