It may have something to do with people day-dreaming when they set second-hand prices at 70-80% of new price when selling DAPs that are 2-3 generations old.
90% of classified here are just like this and people get easily offended when they're proposed lower offers.
Things keep aging even when not used, especially batteries, so anything priced above 50% of original price won't sell unless the item is less than 3 months old and a current generation model.
It is remarkable that people prefer not to sell and recover 0% of their spending instead of recovering 40-50% of their spending, which is more than they would get back in ANY other area.
Totally agree with this. I really don’t see any point of used DAP being worth more than smartphone in used market and it depreciations. Yes, the market used to be so thin, so the products would then hold on to it values. But now, there are too many players in town, the market is crowded. Hell, you can not find deals on smartphones, unless your carriers offer it, or the manufacturers decide to do so. These Portable Players, you can always talk “deals” with your dealers.
Not to offend anyone, but if you are into this market, you only pay full price when you want the “first batches of products”. If you wait around a bit longer like 5-6 months, you can always find deals from your dealers. The Walkman 1A for example. I have seen people listed used 1A pricing + PayPal + shipping even more than I would pay a one time pricing from talking Deal with a dealer, including shipping and everything else
Anyways, back to 1A/Z performances
