Imagine what the economy would be like/cost if you could only buy things new!
I got a good cheap used car for 4k, but the lowest entry cost in the US for a far I believe is around 12k!
How about a brand new house? lol. Don't even want to go there.
Poor people can only afford used clothes, and Levis, Old Navy, etc. don't see a dime from used sales either.
Those are just small examples. My wife buys used books all the time to. It's the developer/publishers fault 99% of the time because they think the $60 price tag is justified because their game ís äwesome. Well Saints Row 3 is a damn good game, but if it was cheaper then Skyrim at release I might have bought it first. Fact is when all games are $60 you usually stick with the big guns (Call of Duty, Skyrim for last holiday season) and wait for sales on the other games.
It's just that simple.
