Buying used

Submitted by Ginny on March 5, 2008 - 22:34.

I bought my first stove for $5. A man had just carried it down some rickety stairs, and had barely made it. It was a beautiful Roper, and I cooked on it for over a year, until we moved. I buy most clothes on ebay--just bought a pair of dress pants, new with tags, for 99cents plus $4 postage. I have also bought many pairs of shoes on ebay--new or nearly new. I try on very good (and expensive) shoes in the stores and then look on ebay for the same brand in the size that fits me. Ebay is the only place I buy cosmetics or bath products, purses, flea killers for pets, cookware, books, just about everything. I buy staple groceries at the local close-out store. If I had to buy things new, there would be nothing in the house.
