do you buy used items?  

I bought a used laptop at www.ebay.com but my grandmother ruined it with water so I bought a new laptop before moving moving to Mexico.

I have bought my 3 last SLRs used, one film SLR and two dSLR. They've all been pretty good, not very much used and overall in good shape. And cars of course, all the cars we have have been bought used. Haven't tried to buy a laptop used, but you could probably get a good bargain as they make new models all the time.

i sure do. i scour thrift stores and garage sales to find things that i can use for art and for myself personally. i often find old items at my favourite thrift store that i only pay a few cents for and are worth quite a bit of money.

Yes, I do buy used items. I love going to the second stores and find something pleasing to my eyes. I have an eye for bargains and I can find good items. I love buying house decors in second hand shops. I have also bought clothes, shoes, bags, and many more in second hand or thrift stores. There are many good items, in fact better than China-made items, found in second hand stores.

I have bought used mp3 player and books but I've never bought something like a computer or laptop.

both my computers were bought at a pawnshop. a laptop which was fine until a virus destroyed it; now a desktop p.c which I use to log on to the internet everyday.I would never get xbox360 used though. ps3 and xbox 360 have too many parts built in dvd drive, etc. to run very well if its bought used. that is if its too wore out, the games won't load properly.

I have purchased a desktop computer used and it lasted 6 years and it was already 6 years old. I also bought a copy/printer/scanner that is both blank and white and color at the same time. The printer has lasted 8 years for me and I didn't pay hardly anything at all for it since it came with the desktop computer that I bought. I have purchased a laptop computer new since and had something spill on the keyboard. The computer was ruined but it was under warranty so I was able to send it back. The computer was 2 years old. The company sent me back a computer that was a few steps up from my computer that was refurbished. I've had it for 3 years and it serves me well. All in all, my experience with used electronics is that at least in the computer area used items are a good way to save money.

I have bought a laptop and its a brand new one. It's good to have one these days to be used in work and business presentations and for other uses. I can't afford to buy a second-hand item because of past experiences which resulted in a worst scenarios. If it works for you and you know the source of the second-hand laptop, then go for it. If not, then you can always save until you can buy a new laptop. I think that if you don't have a business where you travel a lot, then a pc would be alright since you use it mostly at home.

Hello marketing friend. I have not bought second-hand stuff yet, but as one of my friends wanted to buy a second-hand laptop years ago, I helped her get one at a cheaper price. Used items can be good, but you need to make sure that it is still very good to use. Otherwise it is annoying. Be careful with used items, friend.
