    True, that’s why I mostly buy used. I can’t see myself buying any electronic new except for important main computer or server parts

      Buying used is not as bad but still supports the resale value of consumer-hostile devices, which indirectly supports their new value.

        I buy from a local electronic recycler, I highly doubt there is any downside from them saving stuff from being thrown away
