Many items are fine bought used, eg eyepieces, wedges, it depends on the saving to be made. I buy second hand where ever possible, after checking out prices new on the net. Most of my library is used. Many recently released items simply do not hit the used market, eg, how many Ethos eyepieces do you see second hand ? Really popular items , eg Nagler eyepieces will command prices close to new prices and waiting for a special can work out cheaper than buying used! 80% of my gear is second hand
