There are business here where they sell preowned items. You are lucky if you found items you like at a lower price but sometimes they are waste of money if you made mistake in what you buy. Sometimes you end up buying really useless item you think is very useful. I still prefer buying brand new items

Just a few weeks ago, I purchased a lamp at a thrift shop. It was pre owned....inexpensive and fit the bill for what I needed. When my children were small I haunted the thrift shops...they were beautifully dress and often for mere pennies.

If things are too essential for me, I would also prefer to buy the brand new ones.

I don't like buying second hand things. As I am not sure whether it is clean enough. And I will be worried about the quality. I always buy brand new things.

I like going to the op shops and have had many bargains from them. If you choose carefully you don't make too many mistakes.
