Do you buy second-hand stuff?

I love going to thrift stores, garage sales, etc. One time I was a member of this site called "Freecycle" where you post things you have that you don't want, or post things that you're looking for (it's a forum thing). Well anyway, I got a brand new futon from it that would have cost me over $100, and I got it for free! That was pretty cool. I've also found a lot of cute clothes, jewelry, fabric, etc for really cheap.

I don't have a best story but I do love to go to those places and shop. I can spend hours rummaging through the stuff. I have gotten some very good bargains shopping in those places that I would never have gotten at a regular store like walmart, sears or stores like those. Also I like to talk to the people who are holding especially the garage sale. It is very interesting to talk to those people. I love to meet people and talk to them so I guess that is one of the reasons I shop at those places. Also the bargains I find.

I do not have a best story about the thrift stores or garage sales but I do shop at them. I love buying clothes especially at these places. The cheaper the clothes are the more I can buy. The clothes that people sell are in good shape and they are worth it.

I go to thrift stores all the time, and try to find yard sales as well. The best thing I ever found at a yard sale was an 8-track copy of Led Zeppelin IV (Zoso). At that time, I drove a car with an 8-track player. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to buy it, as I had no money on me, and when I came back, the yard sale was gone. :(

I usually dont buy second hand stuffs. But I always look at the places that sell the second hand stuffs. Because it is at these places, that you can really find some old stuffs, that usually people throw away without realising their values. I love to collect old stuff and so I visit these places regularly.

I shop at thrift stores all the time. Probably 90% of what I own is thrifted, from books and housewares to clothes and furniture. I'm especially partial to well-made and vintage clothing, so this works well for me. I don't know that I have a best story, but I have picked up some wonderful vintage designer clothing, le creuset pots (very expensive new!), piles of books that I've wanted to read, and some great furniture for my home. Today, I picked up a lovely 1940s cast iron floor lamp for a few dollars - I'm delighted.

Yes I do buy second hand stuff but the only things I bought that were second hand were my figurine collection of forever friends. It's because they don't make it anymore, or at least, it's not sold in our country so I go to Ebay and search for those figurines which are mostly second hand.

I am not a big fan of wearing others used clothing.

My best story: I went to a thrift store needing a suit. I had 2 dollars in my pocket. There was nothing there I could afford. I saw something disheveled in a pile. They were going to throw out. It was a pin-striped suit. Tried it on, it was my size. Only needed a shirt to go under it which I got for 2$.
