sure. but also the same reason mfgs dont want their modded/refurbished/re-sold prev-gen products competing with their new products.
- newaccount74 5y agoWhich is stupid, since people who look for a cheap used option aren't going to buy a new product at full price anyway. They are going to buy a cheaper product from another company, and then you have lost them as a potential future customer. People who buy your companies used products are much more likely to buy your companies new products at some point in the future.
