Not worth the risk for me

Submitted by Paul Michael on March 5, 2008 - 13:55.

I've spoken to many people who bought used TVs only to see the tube pop a few months later. However, if they've worked out for you, that's great! More power to you.

As for clothes, I do have some second-hand jackets, shirts and so on, but the article is about items I try never to buy new, and it would be disingenuous for me to say that about clothes...I'd rather buy them new in sales. My doctor told me used shoes are just bad for your foot health and posture, and as he's got letters after his name, I follow his advice.
