Why aren’t there many used cables on the market?


We know good cables are extremely expensive and used cables would seem a good thing to buy.

My dealer never has used cables and also conveyed to me that the more expensive cables carry profit margin of 80%.

So $5000 cables yield a.profit for both manufacturing dealer by $4000. Was stated that these cables arent bought very often. Mostly the cheaper cables between 400 and 900 are purchased.   
Obviously not a lot of money selling used cables and I think manufacturers may not allow their dealers to sell used cables.

Your right! I’ve even looking for a USB a to b and there are very few. I’d like to get an AQ I meter Carbon and it looks like they don’t make it. Same with the Nordost Blue Heaven.  They don’t make a 1 meter. 
If anyone sees a legit 1.5 meter AQ Carbon a to b USB or a 1.5 meter Nordost Blue Heaven at half price, please let me know. Crutchfield has none and Music Direct has a Nordost open box ( that I may have to buy)

Thanks all.
