How many people here generally buy used?

Here is why I buy used:
I get 2-3 times the musicality by allowing someone else
to be the 1st owner. I only buy from original owners who
impress me as being capable of proper care of equipment.
Hence the equipment offered on line that depicts dusty equipment, fuzzy pictures and other signs of ownership ineptitude move me right along. 

I usually buy used cars, boats,  audio gear, appliances  and even household furniture. 
I would prefer to buy new if I could afford to but I find used high quality items at attractive prices. It is fun searching online, learning about the products and then buying and ultimately using and enjoying!  

I’ve bought everything used. I’ve got a lot of time to watch the market places but so far it’s worked out great. The only stuff I don’t buy Used is anything from synergistic research. Those EFTs and HFTs already have absorbed somebody else’s problems. I was told that there wasn’t enough room for my problems and to never buy them used. I don’t want my aura all jammed up with somebody else’s or in one of those dots.

I agree in principle and appreciate the advantage of burn in. But I've not found any used stuff that caught my attention in 50 years except for one of a dozen R2Rs.  Bought lots of closeouts though and liked kits. Too shaky to build any more.

I just made my first used purchase, a First Watt F7 amp.  Shortly afterwards I purchased a used McIntosh MCT450 transport.  

To me it makes more sense financially to buy higher end components used.
