- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).

I'm looking at a new camera. The new ones are on sale for $2100. The used ones listed on Facebook are usually $2200+. The used places that sell cameras are also at or above the new price.
I recognize the sale won't go on forever, but it ended over Christmas, then a new one started a few days later, so I'm sure it'll be back on sale again before long.
Read the room, sellers. I know you paid more for it, but that doesn't mean it's worth that now. The lower new price reduces the value of the used ones.
I want a set of Powerblock adjustable dumbbells and brand new they're about $470. People want $350-$400 and they're not even close to "like new." Missing tags, broken brackets, rusty, and obvious signs of use. I'd pay $250 for a used set, but everyone I've messaged says they're firm in their price. The kicker is that there are about 20 sets for sale within 50 miles of me.
FYI, if you're in the US, Woot.com has similar sets pretty regularly. Here are some they have now.
Oh wow, I've never heard of this website. Just ordered the base set up to 50lbs. Thanks for the tip and now I don't have to drive 30 miles to pickup a sweat stained set in a parking lot.
It was better before they were part of Amazon, but they do have good deals sometimes.
