Love Apple products. Can’t stand their progressive politics. So I purchase only pre-owned Macs so Apple never gets a dime.

Thank you VERY much. Folks such as yourself help Apple customers such as my family have a ready market for their quality Apple products when it’s time for an upgrade.

I’m actually kind of like you in that when it’s time to upgrade I buy my wife the new product (Happy wife, happy life), I get her “old” product as a hand-me-down and I sell (or give to one of the kids) my old products. Everyone has what is (to them) a “new” machine that works well.

Yep! That's how you do it.

Here's another benefit - if the seller allows it, you may get a machine fully loaded with software. I bought a used 2-year-old Mac that was loaded with over $1800 of extra software (like the latest Adobe Photoshop suite, Windows 7 and more). And it cost me less than half of a new machine, but fully loaded with max RAM and features. Nothing wrong with not being cutting edge, let someone else pay for getting the latest and greatest.

That's not how the market works.

If you buy used Macs, you indirectly support the price of new Macs.

Why do you think the purchase of used kiddie porn is illegal? Because it supports the price of new kiddie porn and thus encourages the abuse of little kids! Duh!
