would u prefer to buy 2nd hand things or brand new ones..??  

I often buy second hand things from charity shops and from eBay. It's a great way to find bargains and save money. There days we can't afford to buy designer label goods or expensive new things, but by looking around you can find some brilliant bargains.

Most of the time, I want to buy brand new things because I am assured that nobody used it before. Second hand things are good also with some other things but not all things. There are stores in our area that are selling second hand units like cellphones, computers but there is no guarantee or warranty so we never know if it's functioning after a week or two. Clothes abound and I do buy some second hand clothings sometimes.

if i can get a better deal on something that is used and in great condition, why not because i like to save as much money as i possibly can. i have often gotten antiques (which i collect) or even brand new things at thrift stores and garage sales.

I don't really care about buying things that are brand new unless I really want the item that I'm purchasing to be quality. Buying second hand things helps us to not be as wasteful as we are. We throw away a lot of things on a daily basis that could be reused and a lot of stores and companies waste a lot of the earth's materials by making stupid things to sell to people.

Depending on what the merchandise is, most of the time I actually prefer older things. I love old furniture, and prefer it to the shoddy way furniture is made today. I have one sofa, in a classic style, that is at least 30 years old. I've had to recover it a few times over the years, but it's just like new otherwise. The one sofa I bought new and within a couple of years it was ready for the junk heap! Sometimes I'll purchase jackets, dresses, etc, from a second hand store. Only if they have timeless styling and no stains or tears. Some things I would only buy new, like undergarments, shoes, bathing suits, and things like that. As long as an item is in good repair, and clean, I think used is just fine!

I love to buy 2nd hand things, when they are useful, of course!
Check this out: A new nike tshirt is about R$50 (the cheapest). Yesterday I went to a used clothes store and got a used nike tshirt for R$2! Thats too good to be true, but it is true. My suits and formal clothes I buy new but even then, I buy formal shirts at used clothes stores. The clothes I used to jog and to stay at home, they are all used and I got most of them for less than $5
Not to mention all the household utilities I get from used electronics stores. All of them work fineley and I get them for less than half of the original price.
We must encourage this behavior cuz if everyone buys new things and new things only, the world will fill up with out-dated used things that everybody throws out and forgets and then the world will become impossible to live! We must recycle everything that we use or the trash problem will get worser everyday.

I love going to second hand stores. But sometimes it takes quite a bit of looking to find one that is not musty, dirty, disorganized, etc. It is such a good feeling to go into a place and get a whole bag of things for cheaper than you could have bought one thing at the store. I dont enjoy rummage sales though. Too many people pushing and shoving!

That would depend in fact of the things that I'm going to buy. I love that UK hehe. You could really get a lot of bargain and still in very good condition. I was able to buy a lot of stuff through garage sales, surplus shops, Magarbo. In Magarbo sometimes they would have sale like 6 items for P100. Even if you'll get only shirts and shorts to use at home it's still a bargain isn't it? Which tells me I have to visit the shop soon as I'm sure I could fit now to a lot of clothes as I become thinner. Hahaha.

it depends on product to product . normally all electronic things i prefer to go for brand new one , something like car and all i would 100 percent go for second hand . but to be honest it has been long time since i have bought second hand things .
cheers

No, I don't like to buy second hand things. I buy new clothes for me.
