Alot of businesses are starting to prioritise sustainability as it's what the customers want.

Cool for sustainability and all that, but not that great for me, I like 2nd hand shopping because I can get something that someone spent a lot of money to buy, but didn't need it and nobody else wants.

In case of stuff like old audio equipment, I can buy something that someone spent $1000 dollars to buy new and only pay $20..

This means that there probably will be less used stuff on the market and more buyers.

I see it as a two way street.

The more people who cares about 2nd hand, the more will also try to sell 2nd hand.
