Do you like buy things secondhand? Clothes? Furniture? Electronics?

Not really. I prefer buying everything new, if I could. My father often said (with reference to cars), buy secondhand and you will inherit the previous owner's problems. The one and only time he bought a seconhand car, he ended up selling it as it gave him lots of problems. I prefer new things - they smell good and you know that you're the first one to use them.

Oh well, it all depends. I have to see if that particular 2nd hand item is worth buying in terms of the quality versus the price. That particular item have to be in so-called good condition as a 2nd hand item such that it can last for at least quite sometime and not just a few weeks or months and also the price is another issue I would look into because the price I am paying for have to be worth the quality of the product as well as it's durability. But still, I seldom buy 2nd hand goods unless that particular item really strike me as worth buying in terms of quality versus the price.

No, i'm not into second hand items for hygienic reasons. I just feel more comfortable buying new ones and if i get them for a sale price that's good cause I'm cheap but i just can't deal with second hand items.

I like to buy things second hand as you can get some real good things as well as save loads of money.If i buy second hand clothes or even given second hand clothes i always wash them.The thing i like about getting second hand clothes is you can get brand name clothes and they cost you next to nothing and they always look new when washed and ironed.

I buy second hand t shirts and sweat shirts because I wear them alot to the gym. The only thing I will not buy second hand is under garmets and hair acessories that are used, sometimes you can tell they bought them and did not use them so i MIGHT buy those but I sterlize them before wearing them.

The only things I like to buy second hand are antiques, and things that ere no longer sold. I love finding old records in second hand stores, and I don't mind used books, but most other things I prefer to buy brand new, so that I can make sure they work, and are still under warranty.

I don't like buying furniture second-hand, mainly because you can never really CLEAN furniture, totally, so it's an issue of hygeine/sanitation if you ask me. I wouldn't buy like a used couch, for example. Who knows what's been on it, you know? I also wouldn't trust to buy used electronics, either, because if someone is getting rid of the electronic item to begin with..SOMETHING must have been wrong with it, am I wrong? And I've also heard a lot of stories from friends & family about buying faulty used electronics (like phones and iPods) over Craigslist and eBay - and they all had bad experiences with that. I don't mind buying secondhand clothes at all, though, in fact, it's one of my hobbies! I work at a dry cleaners, so I can pretty much clean anything I buy second-hand for free - and it helps knowing that it's clean and won't give me any diseases or anything. . I don't have a lot of money either, and that's why it's nice to have the option of buying used clothes for me.

I do. In fact I find some better ones but I found out that I must be extra careful when buying electronic items for I may later discover the defects. The problem with buying second hand is that you do it "caveat emptor", i.e. let the buyers beware. Everything is on a "as-is-where-is basis" and you can not blame the seller afterwards.

That being said, if one is careful in checking the items meticuluously, then he surely can have a good deal.

Cheers!

my clothes are all secondhand.I love having secondhand clothes.aside from the money I can save,I get to have unique clothes that nobody else has.I just make sure that these clothes are disinfected and washed well.I even found designer items in a secondhand store.I found a Marc Jacobs skirt and a D&G dress.

I don't really mind buying things second hand because they are a lot cheaper and usually their quality is still pretty good. I get a lot of books that way. I also like to go to second hand clothes shops to try and find some interesting attire.
