Buying Second Hand

older polls Forum

Which of the things in this poll are you willing to buy second hand? Where do you draw the line? Or do you not wish to have your house filled with other people's used junk?

Let us all know.

I wouldn't buy second hand electrical equipment. You just never know when its going to die on you.

I will purchase books, movies, clothes, and antiques. And, I have....


I will NEVER purchase second hand underware. That's just wrong, in my opinion.

And I'm with Grant... when it comes to electronics, I want new.

Hey, you left out cars. Many people buy a used car.

I go to used book stores... but I steal them. It's like cutting out the middle man.



Serious, I've bought a few used books, just as new. Not going to get suckered by Borders, that's a fools way.

-HECK!

I love second hand book stores, especially for paperbacks. Way back in high school, I used to go to this great second hand paperback store twice a month. I would buy all types of horror and fiction. It was great. I need to find a new bookstore like that. I had some vampire books about some siblings who were vampires, and I can't remember the title. I don't know why I got rid of all those books. I also buy CD's second hand too.

There is this huge used bookstore I check out, thousands of thousands of books, a lot of them like knew. I mean they have every book you could think of, big old store. It's great. Went to lunch with the lady during work a while back and we were near the store so we went in and spent the rest of the hour pacing around. Nerds we are sometimes.

-HECK!

I've bought retro clothes for Halloween from a thrift store that I wore once. I was a pimp a few years ago. Good times.

-HECK!

I wanted to dress as a pimp before. Could never get the feather to sit right, though.

I bought this big hat, cane with a little disco ball on it, borrowed my mom's fur coat, bought a crushed velvet shirt with a wife beater on. Classic. I bought this big fake porno mustache and a giant blond curly wig. I kind of looked like Harpo Marx meets Huggy Bear.

-HECK!

I am the second hand Queen! I love yard sales and thrift shops. Clothes, electronics, DVD's, CD's...anything but the undergarments..I mean, EW! But I ain't to pround to buy second hand!

Does anybody know where I can buy a second hand nose clipper?

No, can't help you there, Kerry02.


Speaking of second hand... we went to the Goodwill today, and spent $33.
Shannon got 6 or 7 dress tops, for work, and a really nice skirt (originally from the Gap), and I got a new pair of kick ass jeans. I couldn't believe how much we got, for so little.

I bought my couch second hand for 45 bucks and it is the most comfortable thing I have ever sat on.

Oh man... I used to have to couches, both bought from guys across the street, and they were to die for, sleeping on them! Miss those things.

I bought a very nice couch and loveseat for my family room some few years ago from a second hand shop. Can't remember what I paid, but it was C-H-E-A-P!!!!! Still have it.

underwear!
already been broke in so no itching!

that's gross

I think books would be the safest or maybe cleaniest. LOL.
