Oftentimes, consumers don’t need the latest technology and don’t need to pay a premium for it. If you are an Insurance salesman or student for example, a used laptop with basic internet connectivity, a word processor, a spreadsheet program, and a presentation program is all you need.

Other times, consumers purchase used laptops to obtain “just off” the latest technology at a greatly reduced price. This is similar to consumers who buy a one year old automobile that lost several thousand dollars in value when the original owner drove it off the lot.
