That's something I wonder about. Something to keep in mind with preowned items is that not all preowned items have been used heavily. Some have been used a bit and then someone doesn't like it for some idiosyncratic reason, and then wants to recoup losses. Sometimes this happens for a reason that's important to be attentive to, but sometimes it's just idiosyncratic to the purchaser. Clothes are a good example: someone might get a wrong size for a gift or something, maybe wear it a few times, and then decide it's not going to work.
A little use can be good too because it's already stress tested a bit. It depends on the item.
I've had good and bad luck with used and new items for different reasons. A new item can be more of a roll of the dice in some ways, but used items can be too in their own way.
