sellers trying to sell used product for 10-20% off of list price


I don’t get it. Almost any item here can be bought brand new from a dealer with a full warranty for 20% off - virtually any and all high end product. Some can be bought for close to 30% percent off. Sellers trying to sell year old product for 20% off are delusional, perhaps hoping for someone to naively buy it at their price but I doubt it happens. If the product isn’t in the range of 40-50% off of MSRP I'm not sure why anyone would buy it as often the warranty doesn’t transfer. Factor in sellers asking for 5-6% extra for Paypal plus shipping charges and even a 30% percent discount really is more like 15% off of list- a non starter. Am I the only one doing this math  ?  I can buy brand new at 25-30% with no extra charge for using paypal or my credit card and minimal shipping. Asking for a friend lol.

Over the few years I've been an Audiogon user, I've been surprised that people list prices for their used equipment so high; most of the time I see those listings just languish, sometimes not.

What's anything worth?  Just what someone is willing to pay for it!

The way the real estate market these days where we live, it's difficult for me to say what something is actually "worth".
