Considering it's way cheaper than a 757-200, and carrying more pax than an A321 while consuming not much more fuel and only takes 20 mins more to turn. I am suprised that no one order the thing and the used market for it is almost non existant

It releases much later than the 752 and is only available for a short time, so it’s just harder to acquire.

don't forget it's only really useful for a small number of routes

For the same reasons why it wasn´t very sucessfull in real life because it´s quite a niche aircraft designed for european charter routes while in most cases it´s better to keep the Boeing 767-200 around until the 787 arrives due to deprecation and flexibility which the 753 lacks.

Because the A310-300 exists. It's a 757-300ER.

Little Problem, if you are expanding you won´t be that dumb to order the the A310-meh, but rather order it´s bigger, more beautiful and more fuel efficient per seat brother the A300-600R, although the 753 may have 1000 miles less range but it is 20% (without WL) more fuel efficient than a A310 plus this 1000 miles gap can be plugged any time with the Kitchen Gun of widebodies, the 767-300ER.

And when we speak of the 757 than I highly recommend to order the -200M instead of the -200 because deliveries happens every 2 weeks instead of three which in the game year of 40 weeks means 20 757-200M against 13 1/3 757-200 and tbh range is just overestimated, it´s efficiency that is all above else.
