heretobuy
New does not work that way used does. Dealers have all that overhead to contend with and a small market so they are not gonna negotiate that much.
Does it bother you when you see inflated MSRP’s for used gear on AG?
Chances are if you’re looking at an ad you already know what it went for when new but I still find it annoying / irritating at best and dishonest at worst. Moreover, it seems the trend is getting worse in terms of frequency and % of inflating original retail prices. In some cases, (where applicable), a seller’s response usually revolve something like, “well, that is the current price” , not acknowledging that current models often have upgrades that would account, at least partially, for the increase. Am I the only one that is bothered by this? Just curious.
@bigkidz +1. Im more pissed when they sell way about the book value. |
@audioman58 : +1 Agreed. 50% retail is my cut off as well for used gear.. Jeff |
