I don't have a habit of buying surplus or even second hands because I think I still get more when I buy brand new ones. What things do you think is worth buying in surplus?

If you know how to choose then maybe you will save a lot from surplus. But if not, you might be wasting your money then. Because not all products sold in surplus are of good quality.

yes, i agree with that. but there are also a lot of item that you can buy on surplus shop that of good quality but when you check them, they are not surplus price at all:-) usually, surplus items come from other countries that's why when they are being sold here, they are still quite expensive. thanks for the response.

It's depend on the things that you are going to buy on a surplus. If you wanted to buy an electronic gadgets or things, I think its better if you buy a brand new than a second hand. You dont know how careful is the old owner of that things, so in order for you to avoid a future problem on that things you should by a brand new.

yes, especially on appliances, i always buy them brand new. but what i prefer buying on second hands are toys for my kids. i usually get them from ebay. other than that, i really don't know.
