Totally agree. Buy a used one for a LOT less than getting a new one. I have done that 3 times.
OTOH, when buying used,
be prepared to purchase some new parts - for example I replaced a chain (with a non-Brompton one), new BB cartridge (also non-Brompton) etc. My last project of hand-crafting the square "washers" to attach the black "folding hook" to the front fender wire stay. Brompton will not sell the washers individually, they are not available in a hardware shop, and I don't want to spend for a complete kit and then pay for shipping to me in Qatar.
YMMV
