Buying second hand - ghost - 04-02-2018
Do you buy second hand? What type of products do you buy second hand? I do occasionally with furniture and then video games which I like playing. I will not buy a game new as they are too expensive. However, I couldn't personally wear second hand clothing or anything like that.

i buy second-hand clothes and other things for the family of course second-hand things are a lot cheaper and it can still be long-lasting and durable, provided one doesn't buy the ones that are already dead on arrival it can it still be useful for more years.

I do buy second hand and I am the same with your thinking on new video games. I find newly released games expensive and I tend to just buy used ones from people that live in the same area as me. I also buy used books because I don't care much about their condition and I can still consume the same content but in a much cheaper state than a brand new one.

I buy second hand for the things you’ve mentioned also. I wouldn’t buy second hand clothes either for myself personally but the rest I am fine with.

I occasionally buy second hand clothes for which it is cheaper and I also buy second hand shoes for which it is more durable and also branded. Buying second hand things is okay because you can save a lot more money than to buy a new one but when buying a second hand, make sure it is safe to use like electronic things to avoid damage to properties and also remember, QUALITY FIRST before QUANTITY.

I buy secondhand electronic products specially equipment's and tools. I know electronics so it's a plus for me because i would know if the device is worth it. Also i love buying second hand tools that are made of metal. Metal are so strong and would last long, some of them i buy in sets. Some folks sell tools because of minor defects like bending and corrosion which is very easy to repair.

I actually prefer to buy a second hand vehicle because it's more cheaper than a new one. However, I still consider a lot of things before I purchase a second hand vehicle or anything that is a second hand.

I prefer to buy second on most things, and I'm glad that other people do aswell as I sell second hand products.

I like 2nd hand clothes and games, but of course, I'd rather buy new. Anyway, the savings can be quite substantial. I mean, I know of a place with t-shirts for 0.10 USD!

I buy a lot of things second-hand. I feel like the price of some things are just ridiculous and if I can find a better price with the same quality of item you bet I'm going the better price.
I've recently started buying second-hand clothes and I must say I am happy with the outcome. Not that I buy clothes often at all, it still saves me money and the clothes are usually in a really good condition. To me there is no point in buying something that's more expensive just because it's new. The only clothes I don't buy used is obviously underwear, bra's and bathing suits.
