<p>friction and transaction costs exists in our world which are absolutely factors that would delineate the economic utility of purchasing a new luxury item from selling an already owned luxury item.<p>Spend $2. 
Receive album worth $1000. 
Make $300 an hour at job. 
Have no immediate use case for $1000 in cash. 
Have somewhat immediate want for music on that album.<p>Time to sell album with high quality images/ description, deal with questions from discerning buyers (tire-kickers), post the album: 4 hours<p>Opportunity cost- $1,200 
Sale value - $1000
Replacement album cost - $20<p>Deciding to sell would put this hypothetical guy down $220 vs just listening to his cool, potential appreciating album and working for the same amount of time.</p>
