Wow. They sure got you.
Congrats marketers everywhere.
I do. Buying used is better for the environment because I don't add to the demand for product and resources that are required to manufacture the products. Here's a good article about that - although it's about a Prius, but applies to everything.Who buys a computer based on environmental reasons?
Strictly speaking, even if your used purchase isn't directly adding to the demand for new products, you are indirectly feeding that demand by supporting the used market. A strengthened used market better enables those who sell their used computers to generate capital to buy new. So while you have a valid case for saying you're not adding as much to the demand, don't think you're not adding some to it through your used/refurb purchase.I do.
