I think the market for Astronomy is very small so the margin are higher in relation to second hand. As mention above market dictates it, so I have seen equipment sold higher than a bulk market item.
In principle I am used to purchasing items at 50% or less but can see in this market is a bit higher. In my opinion I would rather buy new if it is higher but as mentioned above higher the price the longer it will take to sell them.
Most of the time the equipment is out of warranty so that plays a big factor.
