I myself buy almost anything used much rather then buying new. You can buy almost anything with near new quality around where I live due to a hugely popular buy and sell site that the entire country knows about and uses.
Like my huge L-shaped design work table, it's a beautiful table in red mahogny with a quality feel to it. New it would have set me back about $3000 but with a little bargaining I managed to buy it for $250 from someone who just did not need it anymore. Nothing wrong with it a few scratches here and there but overall very high quality. Same goes for my TV, perfect samsung LCD with excellent picture, got it at 30% of what it would usually cost.
Some things I would not consider buying used though like matrasses and other stuff that might be non-clean but I guess that goes without saying.
I am also a big fan of flea markets and garage sales. I think my attraction to used stuff is not just the fact that it's cheaper but also the hunt and the satisfaction of finding something you really like is a big part of it.
Do you buy used stuff or enjoy brand new every time?
