Seriously if someone looks for deals, you can find just about anything new on sale. Even Assos if you know what dealers do sell at a discount.
Some of the deals for used stuff isn't that different than new sales and you often have to pay shipping too.

Here is another possibility: I wouldn't be surprised if many of the folks objecting to buying and using used bibs/shorts also are the ones who wash their shorts by hand or by wearing them in the tub or shower. Maybe they wear their bibs/shorts several times before washing them at all. Deep down inside they know they are not really getting them clean. They are willing to live with their own dirt, but not a previous owner's. Those of us who machine wash and dry our bibs/shorts likely are less concerned. A modern washing machine doesn't leave anything behind. Just saying.

I bought a pair of used shorts at the Trips For Kids 2nd hand bike shop.
In fact, this is the 2nd pair bought there (vintage wool nickers).
Some of you may want to avoid responding to my posts, to avoid getting cooties.
