Nothing wrong with buying used bicycles at all. Great bargains to be found at pawn shops and other places. I would buy an used recumbent if I could find one used at a decent price.
I guess the answer to your question is I'm spoiled, I want something new each year...... Kind of like the guy/gal who trades in a car every year and buys another one, except my budget is 1/100th of that.
