I don't buy clothes second hand, never did that, don't know why, never felt the need maybe... But yes, i do go for 2nd hand accessories like tv, dvd players, laptops, watches and stuff like that.. I wud also be ready for a 2nd hand car if smthing good comes my way... I also buy 2nd hand furniture but not very much, only once in a blue moon... I had always preferred buying new things... Maybe its what I have grown up with...

I have bought an awful lot of second hand furniture, I think sometimes the old furniture is more unusual than the modern stuff, I have bought a lot from op shops and yard sales, I am not really into buying clothes though.

I like to buy second hand stuff because it is so much cheaper! And some of the stuff looks almost brand new too! I would not buy lingerie either, too personal. I have bought books, clothes, pictures, furniture, toys, and shoes at the second hand store. I love a good deal!

My family often buy second hand stuff like car, cellphone, shoes, and others. And yeah prily, I don't like to buy second stuff as lingerie too. For me it is not good becuase what if we do have a delicate and sensitive skins..? So i guess it leads to waste some more money to take some medications for our skin.LOL I'm sure I'm not comfortable with that. It is really good to have the cheaper stuff which is still good as new, like furnitures, and other stuffs but not the undies.:)

Yeah, i can live with second hand furnitures and appliances but when it comes to clothes and other personal stuff, I'd rather have them brand new. I can't get over the feeling that somebody had used my clothes before I even got to them!

From what I remember, I never really bought anything second hand. I am always interested in those second hand style clothing but everytime when I go into the store, there is some kind of weird smell that makes me hesitate and I end up not buying. I still prefer new stuff to be frank because I don't like to guess about who the previous owner of the thing was.

hi prily9,well i would say that it depends upon what kind of stuff i am buying..like if its accessories and that too mainly jewellery like antique one etc. then i can buy them second hand also but only if they are in good condition..other things i mostly like to buy fresh only like clothes etc.,shoes,bags,purses,apparels,furniture or other household stuff..overall i don't consider purchasing second hand stuff as bad..but i think sometimes its good if we find some good material in its low price range..i mean from second hand purchasing..well thats it from my side..have a nice time..
