How many people here generally buy used?

Usd to buy new in 70s and 80s because reliability was poor. Everything in last 20 years has been used given the ~30-60% savings from new and quality of build. 
I always listen first and try to deal with reputable seller/dealer. It’s was very easy in Chicago but realize this is harder in smaller markets. 
Some great deals I remember:

Pioneer SA9500 amp for 100
Denon 2910 universal CD player for 100 ( still sounds great)
paradigm Studio 20 speakers for 300
audio refinement complete amp and CD for 1000
YBA is integre DT amp for 1500
McIntosh MA5200 for 3100
Sonus Fabre Auditor Ms for 3000
B&W CDM7SE speakers for 1000
REL Strada III sub for 900

just a few I can remember the prices on. 
Even if I had twice or three times the money I would stick with used. 
That way I can buy and sell more often which is the whole point of this game. Right?

oh ya, and the great sounds that make life worth living.

I have generally bought new though mostly I try to get the best value for my money which has often been demo gear or last years model heavily discounted.  Effectively a full warranty for a few finger prints. 
Used is something I consider only if I know someone who can fix it!

75 % used, mostly purchased here at Audiogon because i feel that the guy selling gear here is passionate about the hobby and would probably take better care than an EBay seller. IMHO

Just finished piecing together my first 2 channel system and was super aggressive with negotiating prices for used things and getting a good deal. 
Pair B&W CM9 S2 - $600 (some scratches in cabinets but drivers and are pristine and sound quality is unaffected - was bound to happen anyway with toddlers in the house. Yesterday I came home to paw patrol stickers covering the “booboos” on the cabinets)
McIntosh 2205 - $1,500 (in mint condition from original owner, stored in original box for last 20 years, an incredible find!)
2 X 15ft. 12 AWG Sewell cables off Amazon -  $58

Currently just using iPad Pro 1/4” headphone jack into phono input on the amp. In all, I cannot believe how powerful and clear this combo is. After finding these deals it’s going to feel like massively diminishing returns if I ever buy high-end new equipment. I’m sure I will someday, but not until I’m settled in a forever house and kids are further along!
