    The large used market exists because Google has been producing them. When Google stops producing them, that supply will dry up.

      Lucky you, this is the perfect time to snatch up all the ones you say you need on the cheap.

        I’m not going to buy something I don’t need right now. Especially when my buying it is denying it to someone else who wants it.

          Ok so just so we’re clear, you want Google to keep mass producing e waste that you and most of the world aren’t buying right now just in case someday you might want to buy another.

            They can reduce production to meet demand. Kickstarter and retro consoles have shown you can produce very small production runs at a profit.

            But Google’s attitude with all products whether software or hardware is that if it isn’t a monopoly market share product, they cancel it.
