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?

I rarely buy anything new. Phono cartridges. Can’t think of much else.  Oh, no used fuses.
Even though I try to buy used, I mostly buy new.  I would be more apt to buy used speakers and amplifiers as I don't think the technology has changed that much.  The problem is what I am interested in generally does not come up in the used market.  Patience is not one of my virtues.  
When I first started here, I bought almost all used and I had no significant issues or regrets.  Now, all my gear was bought new except for my amps, which were bought used and completely rebuilt by SMc Audio.  I have been patient and as a result received pretty good discounts on most of the new stuff.
You can get into a better calibre of equipment buying used.  I bought my amps used and paid about 1/2.... they were about a year and a half old and mint so it was a no brainer.....   

My latest component rarely appears used so I just bit the bullet and bought new...   it was a tremendous value for the money so no regrets.

My tuner is a certified used Magnum Dynalab.  Sent mine in for repair and got a generous trade in on a tuner I could otherwise never afford.  Again, simple choice.
