Do you buy second hand things?

[Sanjeev]

I have seen people like to buy second-hand things as they are cheaper than new ones.

But I never like to buy second-hand items because I fear they may have defects and may not be as good as a new item in terms of quality.

But I prefer to buy second hand books because they are cheaper and are not updated every year.

Do you like to buy second-hand items?

I have bought a few second hand things in the past though, but in situations where i have the money to get a brown new one, i actually prefer buying a new one.

That's what everyone does. If I have a budget I will go for a new branded thing and won't like to buy any second hand item. But sometimes the things which are to be used for short period of time can be bought second hand.

I buy them sometimes when I see that they are as good as new, and I get them from verified vendors and owners. There are times when I need the item urgently and I don’t have the funds for the new one.

Yes i completely agree here, especially in situations where it is more cheaper.

I don't really mind buying second hand things but it depends on what it is. In most cases, I don't buy second hand electronics. I prefer to buy something new but for books, furniture and cars, I might go for second hand because they are more affordable.

I have been known to buy second-hand things in the past, but I always buy them from trusted charity shops.

I have bought TVs, sofas, other kinds of furniture and even games and consoles in the past from charity shops second-hand, and have not had any issues at all.

If you go to trusted places that check what they are selling, you will find you can get some great deals.
