Oof. You’ll see these kinds of offers on German secondhand platforms, too, but there’s usually also reasonably-priced ones. I assume many of those posts are people being pressured by their partners to put stuff up for sale that they don’t actually want to sell.
I basically have a teensy weak motorcycle that I can “fuel up” at home or bring a spare battery for long rides. I’m bothered the used cars are so expensive, not the bike
I also ain’t looking at $12k frames, (mine was $700) so it’s got that going for it too.
That’s why I can’t understand how some bikes can cost as much as a small used car.
And some watches cost far more than both.
Price isn’t always perfectly aligned with complexity or utility 🤷♀️
Yeah, some watches, but you can buy perfectly competent watches for very low prices.
You can’t buy a perfectly competent electric bike for a low price, at least not where I am.
Is that true for used e-bikes, too?
The used market for pretty much anything is shit here in Italy, idk why
Weird. That’s definitely not a problem here in Germany.
I’ve been looking to buy a new router, I can’t understand who’s buying used routers at the price of new ones.

No clue, sane ones just don’t happen, when they do they get scooped up immediately
Buying something at the beginning of its usefulness vs the end where it’s practically falling apart and worth only what you can sell its parts for…

Economies of scale and subsidies
