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?

Id prefer to buy used, preferably off of a place like Audiogon. 
I ended up buying my integrated amp and speakers new from Audio Affair but bought my OPPO 105 used here.

Used mostly, new if cannot obtain used or if contains newer desirable technological advances like digital components.

It's rare for me to purchase used equipment.   The predominance of my system was purchased refurbished or close out.  Like new at 1/3 less sometimes 1/2 price.  8 speakers,  pre/ pro (twice),  turntable,  and power plant.
