I think that's a big part of the problem for Lego, there is a big second
hand market for Duplo for precisely those reasons: It's very expensive new
(significantly cheaper of late but still expensive overall), and once the
kids grow out of it (after only a couple of years) they're not likely to
ever go back to it. So parents don't want to pay much to begin with, and
they're not likely to keep it longterm. Hence there is a lot of second hand
Duplo circulating out there and it's generally pretty cheap.
I would not be surprised to see the demise of Lego Baby (Primo) for similar
reasons, in fact I'm surprised that it didn't go first.
BTW I don't fit my own generalisations: I buy lots of Duplo, 99.9% brand
new, and I'll be keeping most if not all of it when my kids no longer play
with it :)
