Does it bother you when you see inflated MSRP’s for used gear on AG?

Chances are if you’re looking at an ad you already know what it went for when new but I still find it annoying / irritating at best and dishonest at worst.  Moreover, it seems the trend is getting worse in terms of frequency and % of inflating original retail prices.  In some cases, (where applicable), a seller’s response usually revolve something like, “well, that is the current price” , not acknowledging that current models often have upgrades that would account, at least partially,  for the increase.    Am I the only one that is bothered by this?  Just curious.

New does not work that way used does. Dealers have all that overhead to contend with and a small market so they are not gonna negotiate that much.

It revolves around the 'desirability' of said item...

If 'it' was explicitly 'good', it depends upon how many for how long it was made and offered....and how many have survived relatively intact.

Then it's in your court; how much are you willing to spend to have one.....

'Twas always thus...:)
