Secondhand stuffs aren't bad if they still look brand new or if it works good. But if it were clothes for special occasions or going outside, I wont buy those. I had tried buying shoes used by an unknown person, it easily gets damaged. It's ok if it's electronics or books. They still come in handy.

if i can afford to have the new one then new stuff of course!it is all depends on the the my financial situation and my budget as well.i have many experiences in using them.most of them are electrical stuff and i would say it is not a good choice to choose second hand of electrical stuff.but second hand stuff like books or clothes are fine.

I will buy second clothes for growing children when they are small. They out grow their clothes so fast that the clothes hardly get used at all. I then return these to the same place I brought them from for someone else to buy.

I generally buy electronics new. It's just my preference. Other things, such as books and sometimes even clothing I have no problem with buying second hand. But I just like my electronics new. I'm' not very trusting of other people and computers. I like knowing what is on the computer- what chance there is of viruses and whatnot.

I prefer new stuff than used if that's electronics stuff. we can not sure the used stuff "truly condition" before sold to us.

If you were to buy a second hand stuff, you would probably testing your luck. When you buy a second hand product, you will probably do not have any warranty from the seller, if there is, it will probably last a month or may be shorter. So why spend money on something that did not give you warranty?

I will say that i tend to get both new and second hand things as i think that there is nothing wrong with second hand things that we can get as alot of the things are in new condition.I always buy my children new electric things like games consols for birthdays as well as at christmas as i think that way they will have a guarentee with them where as any other time it is second hand things that i get for them.

I dont like second had ones much.... Because most of the times we get things which are already a little bit damaged or would get a problem very much soon.... So I just go for the new ones most of the times.... Unless I am sure that the second hand thing I am buying is almost a new one and the owner of it is changing it just for the trend.....:-)

For me, when it comes to electronics or gadgets i prefer to buy the new one other than a second hand or or second use. Because its too risky if we buy the second hand, we do not know how did the user took care of the product. And sometimes secondhand products a few of its parts are taken out and replaced by low quality. its just too risky to invest on one.

Well it really depends.for non electronic stuff like, Bikes, Plates, Spoon Fork, or anything that can be viewed by its physical appearance. I would consider buying a hand me down or second hand. But for Motorcycles, or Electronics anything with complicated components, I always think twice about buying cause we never know what might be wrong on the inside of that thing.
