How many people here generally buy used?

Just curious. Most of my equipment I purchased new. My Firstwatt J2 was a demo that I swear was new. Outside of a DAC where latest tech may be desired, buying used (if a fair price) seems to be a great way to purchase something you normally would not be able to afford. Of course, condition, care of component etc needs to be taken into consideration

Thoughts?

Mostly used — here’s my setup:
Speakers - used (Usher)
Power amp: used, then factory refurbished (McCormack)
Pre: new, but not high-end (Parasound)
DAC: used (Benchmark)
TT: used (Technics)
Cart: new (Nagaoka)
Streamer: refurbished (Bluesound)
CD Player: used (Cambridge)

I’ve been very happy with all my used purchases, and would have had a hard time getting into this hobby without them!  Good luck.
