Why would you pay $65 for a used pair of outdoor hiking pants when you can get new pants cheaper? Talk about gross.

  To some, the name and reputation of that brand's quality is what drives these second hand markets. Older Craftsman tools are like this, for example. You can't beat the quality of a certain era of hand tools from Crafstman.

    Just last week I tried to find a Robogrip plier like I had twenty years ago. Impossible. And the set of three pliers that I paid about $29 for now sells - used and rusted - for well over $100. https://www.ebay.com/itm/185024556116?hash=item2b1452ac54:g:BaUAAOSw0F9hLRKP https://www.ebay.com/itm/185024556116?hash=item2b1452ac54:g:...

      Hey thanks for the reply, it's always a little less worse when there is someone out there sharing the same struggle! It's a shame we can't bring back the Craftsman company we once knew. An acquaintance had a household fire that melted a set of drivers and craftsman replaced with a full set no questions asked through the local Sears. I wish more companies were like this in 2021, but I understand why some can't- surely these policies have seen some level of abuse. Take care, I hope you find your grips. (Try estate sales)

  I assume this is much more about either very lightly used/unused or the sort of things they normally sell in their outlets. I may be wrong but I doubt they are selling stuff that's truly worn out. Not sure why you think it's gross. I know stores that sell used hiking/camping gear on commission. A lot of people buy such gear and then don't use it much.
