I don't pay a lot for these. And, when I sell one, I've cleaned it up, tested it, updated the firmware and can (more or less) guarantee its fitness for use. But I definitely need to sell some (a lot) of these.
As for buying books ... most of the novels I read come from the library. And then there's a ton of good books in the public domain. Mostly what I buy are books that I could have downloaded from Gutenburg or Archive.org, but the ones I buy have been cleaned up and formatted properly -- so they're worth a couple or three dollars for that. I do think I've bought more eReaders this year than eBooks ... but that will change. I've pretty much tried out all the old eReaders I was curious about and I've figured out that ... I tend to like whichever one I'm currently using. Especially now that I know I can convert eBooks to the Constantia font in Calibre. A lot of good choices out there. And these things are cheap.
