If a new ebook cost $5, and a used one $4.99, what reason would there be to spend even 1c more on the new one? It would at best have an extremely detrimental value on the marketplace, to my mind. I don't think it would be beneficial for the consumer, other than in the very short term. But I may of course be wrong. Time will tell.
