Good line I just heard, maybe it's an old one.
The rich man and poor man both pay the same $100 for their hats, but the rich man always wears a new hat and the poor man always wears an old.
Rich man buys a new hat for $200, wears it four years and sells it as used for the poor man for $100. Net cost for rich man - $100
Poor man wears it for four years and trashes it afterwards. Cost for poor man, also $100.
