dutret went over this pretty well.. the used and new markets are linked.. by creating demand in the used market.. you are also affecting the demand in the new for the same product

so like i said.. ride a brooks if youre feelin it.. but a used brooks is still dead cow skin.. if thats a problem to you then dont

as for vegans preaching.. like it or not.. meat eaters are ****in up the planet.. the whole.. "you do you thing, ill do mine" isnt a valid argument when someones thing is messing with another persons thing..

besides.. i hear far more meat eaters bragging about eating meat, then vegans preaching

but im not preaching, i eat fish and thats not helping much
