I feel this way about most salt water fish tank equipment. Its soooooo ridiculously expensive. And there are constantly people getting out of the hobby so its easy to find great deals on barely used parts.
Also if theres anything i cab buy refurbished instead of new, ill always go for it.
Paintball guns.
They’re like cars. The moment you buy a new one, it loses value, so much so, that with-in the year, you can get the same gun used for 1\3 the price. The only exception is the Tippman Brand of Gun.
Books (textbooks in particular), jackets, magazines (just take one from a waiting room, with the receptionist’s permission, of course), anything that’s vintage/vintage style, posters, and collectibles.
@LKidKyle: I have something to say but don’t know what it is. Maybe “do you often find yourself in the market for new lifelong commitment rings?” Possibly also “don’t date anyone superstitious” or “but you can’t get the really good, interesting ones that way!!” Take your pick.
@ empressPixie lol, I just wanted to see how people would respond to my asshole response to this question. all your responses sound pretty good. I guess one thing I really refuse to buy new is Equipment for my painting business I ran this summer, except brushes of course.
Video Games!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 50–60 bucks for one that I will eventually get tired of anyway????
Some people only buy some things NEW when they plan to collect it. If youre starting a collection of something, its best to buy it new. Its makes your collection more unique that way. But if not, psh. Buy EVERYTHING used imo!
