my reasons for buying used gear are purely financial, im with marakantez in that i believe most new gear is over priced atleast within the mcintosh line that i use.
when i decided to buy a mcintosh mc2102 i went with new beacuse im new to tubes & the warranty & support from the dealer were important to me.
one thing i have found out from the dealer i use is that dealer mark ups are right around 45% within the mcintosh line & he sold me the mc2102 cheaper than used models advertised here on agon.
as long as i feel good about the seller & the gear is in great shape ill always buy most of my gear used.
