Don't see it as a percentage. Sometimes you need to save money and takes your chances, other times you don't but really depends on what you're looking for....generally finding used gear for me is a pain due I"m not close to a major metro center.
OTOH I rarely look for used gear for the most part, and that's not just audio....but depends on what it is particularly too.
