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.

only an idiot would pay that , even the most in demand product 
less then 50% . On Audiogon how often would you pay 50% for a used product? Only if in high demand  and willing to pay Max .
Actually the most ridiculous ad these days is the oppo 205 selling for 3 grand. 
Opps. I have a pair of naked Stevens & Billington TX103 step up transformers. I was thinking of listing it for much more than retail. Guess I'm out of luck.
