Cars are much more advanced tech than bikes. Hell we have partly self driving electric cars now. That’s some sci-fi shit

That’s why I can’t understand how some bikes can cost as much as a small used car.

And some watches cost far more than both.

Price isn’t always perfectly aligned with complexity or utility 🤷‍♀️

Yeah, some watches, but you can buy perfectly competent watches for very low prices.

You can’t buy a perfectly competent electric bike for a low price, at least not where I am.

Is that true for used e-bikes, too?

The used market for pretty much anything is shit here in Italy, idk why
Show threadrumschlumpelOct 15
Weird. That’s definitely not a problem here in Germany.

I’ve been looking to buy a new router, I can’t understand who’s buying used routers at the price of new ones.
Show threadrumschlumpelOct 15
Oof. You’ll see these kinds of offers on German secondhand platforms, too, but there’s usually also reasonably-priced ones. I assume many of those posts are people being pressured by their partners to put stuff up for sale that they don’t actually want to sell.

No clue, sane ones just don’t happen, when they do they get scooped up immediately
