Some people think buying used is buying other people's problems. They want everything new. These are often the same people that trade in a car after two to three years. I stick with used. Used cars, refurbished electronics, older furniture from estate auctions. I feel I'm letting other people put up with the headaches of getting the bugs worked out. On furniture, why pay $150 for a cheaply made particleboard piece when I can pick up solid walnut for $50?
