Do you guys consider buying second hand parts?

If yes, why, if no? also why?

Im wondering why we do not have any secondhand bike part stores, besides ACME who seem to do a decent job.

Ive never ever been able to source a part from bike hospital. And if they do, they are so expensive that id rather buy the new thing...

Im very curious why second hand bike parts are not a success like car scrap yards...
