I think the rich are more prone to buying new items. Eventually the prices of used items will rise as a result of demand, but not right away. No one needs a new game console, and few could not meet their needs with a used PC or laptop.

Most in the US already have all of the above, but sure, this disproportionally "hurts" the poor.
