Indeed. About 10-12 years ago, when I started working and having disposable income, almost every book or video game I bought came from the second hand market, and the vast majority of it came in fact from Amazon.

I'm a bit baffled by GP's claim that many people don't know that Amazon doesn't sell second hand products. It's displayed quiten clearly, and in fact, for a lot of us it was a big part of the appeal of buying there. I understand that the demographics of the average Amazon buyer have changed in the last years, but I don't think people are not aware of the presence of the second hand market.

Very bad move from Amazon. Nowadays I'm way less likely to buy from them, and this only reassures me.
