I live in Brazil, so used stuff usually is more expensive than a new similar in a USA. New stuff is 2 or 3 times more expensive than USA.
Chifi is a bit different. Used prices for a bit less than a new sometimes. Because until recently one could import from China with no taxes.
But two months ago government decide to enforce a law to tax all importations above 50 usd in 90% of price + shipment. Below 50 usd is, for now, only 20% in taxes, could increase to around 50% next year nwespaper have reported.
This will destroy the used market for sure.
