    I’m looking at a new camera. The new ones are on sale for $2100. The used ones listed on Facebook are usually $2200+. The used places that sell cameras are also at or above the new price.

    I recognize the sale won’t go on forever, but it ended over Christmas, then a new one started a few days later, so I’m sure it’ll be back on sale again before long.

    Read the room, sellers. I know you paid more for it, but that doesn’t mean it’s worth that now. The lower new price reduces the value of the used ones.

    • I want a set of Powerblock adjustable dumbbells and brand new they’re about $470. People want $350-$400 and they’re not even close to “like new.” Missing tags, broken brackets, rusty, and obvious signs of use. I’d pay $250 for a used set, but everyone I’ve messaged says they’re firm in their price. The kicker is that there are about 20 sets for sale within 50 miles of me.
