That's why I can't understand how some bikes can cost as much as a small used car.

    And some watches cost far more than both.

    Price isn't always perfectly aligned with complexity or utility 🤷‍♀️

    Yeah, some watches, but you can buy perfectly competent watches for very low prices.

    You can't buy a perfectly competent electric bike for a low price, at least not where I am.

    Is that true for used e-bikes, too?

    Weird. That's definitely not a problem here in Germany.

    I've been looking to buy a new router, I can't understand who's buying used routers at the price of new ones.

    Oof. You'll see these kinds of offers on German secondhand platforms, too, but there's usually also reasonably-priced ones. I assume many of those posts are people being pressured by their partners to put stuff up for sale that they don't actually want to sell.

    I basically have a teensy weak motorcycle that I can "fuel up" at home or bring a spare battery for long rides. I'm bothered the used cars are so expensive, not the bike

    I also ain't looking at $12k frames, (mine was $700) so it's got that going for it too.
