This weekend I just picked up an early 70's retro Steelcase Desk and matching drafting table for my home office on craigslist. I'm pretty geeked.

[bigkingsfan]

Who's the nasty fk that say he buys used underwear at goodwill?

[mlh1981]

Pretty much everything in my apartment :oldlol:

Specifically, my TV stand, couch, coffee table, kitchen table, etc. You wouldn't know that they were used items if you saw them. I take good care of what I own. I just can't go into a department store and buy brand new things right of the bat.

[3.2.1.]

A prostitute.

you would be surprised what people would do to have sex... a hobo stole the one I keep in my wallet and I didnt want to use a Snickers wrapper, so I payed up the quarter at the yardsale as great of a story that would be, no, it has not nor will it ever happen

Bought a "used" domain name on EBay not too long ago. Cost me $10 and and I renewed it another year for another $10. Six months later a company gave me $3000 for it. Turns out they had the name copyrighted. A friend of a friend who was a lawyer got a grand though. Bought a lot of "used" 10 super heavy duty tow straps for a $100, sold 2 for the same $100 to a friend a short time later. I have had good luck buying used crap on EBay so far. <knocking on wood>

[ROCSteady]

It's the PRINCIPLE SMOKEYYYYY

If u can't find a flee market or sumthin to buy clean drawers at, then life has gotten sad for you.....unless u got a mental health issue (for all u PC ppl)

[pete's montreux]

My father was at a jobsite a while back and some HVAC guys were going to throw away some commercial air conditioners, so my dad asked to have them anyways, and they obliged, no problem. These air conditioners, with the compressers run about $7500 each. He didn't have the compressors, but he did end up selling them for about 3K each. He used the money to overhaul his landscaping, now his front and back yards are ****ing gorgeous, best in the neighborhood, hands down.

**** like that happens to my dad all the time.

[Posts Penyeach]

Used bookstores... I have several haunts I return to a couple times a year. Anyone who owns a used bookstore in any area I've ever lived in knows me by name. I have a whole wall of books and maybe one shelf total of them is stuff I bought new off like Amazon.

So I'd probably say Gravity's Rainbow or Ulysses (got for $3 and $6.50 respectively).

[ukballer]

Umm prob just various used video games. I like to buy most of my games new, but if I see a classic that either I used to have or have wanted to play for a while and not had the chance, I'll pick some up.

I got the very first Metal Gear Solid for like

[stewen12]

Bought my 8gb touch for $220 back in march off kijiji....

[johndeeregreen]

I'd have to say the '04 Clapton Strat I bought off EBay for around $800. Thing looked like it hadn't been touched when I got it. The guitar lists for something stupid like $1,500.

[Horde of Temujin]

i bought a panasonic lumix digital camera for $30(probably stolen) off my neighbor, didnt come with the charger or anything but was able to buy the charger off ebay for $10. When i looked up the camera online i found it was worth $650.

[RainierBeachPoet]

a good response to someone who looks down on you for buying things used--

"if you tried to sell ANYTHING you now own, it would be 'used'--everything you now own is 'used'"

[Cannonball]

Who looks down on buying used stuff? As long as it was well taken care of

used>new

I got a $300 kayak for $20 Bucks, and a newish IPod Touch for the same price. Ya gotta love crackheads...they get you stuff for great prices.

some poor I lover and kayaker are pissed as hell right now.

[Dasher]

You ever get one that is trying to sell you your own stuff?Yeah, a guy broke into my whip and hit me up for my backpack and laptop. He had no idea why everyone around him was laughing when he stepped to me and tried to sell me the stuff.

[Dasher]

some poor I lover and kayaker are pissed as hell right now.The crackhead earned that kayak money. I saw him carrying it on his back down the street and took pity upon him and bought it because he was a good 15 miles from any kayakable water, and the boat was still wet.

:oldlol: what happned after that?

[Dasher]

:oldlol: what happned after that?I took my sh*t back. He apologized profusely, and one of the cats on the block shot him a rock to even it up for him. He broke the code, and stole from the neighborhood where he rests his head. People began to scrutinize his goods more closely following that situation.

[Horde of Temujin]

I got a Lumix G10 camera off an old neighborhood of mine who was always involved in shady stuff, fencing stolen sh!t was among them.

he gave it to me in exchange for a $40 debt without the charger which i later ordered online for $10. Neither he or i knew at the time how much it was worth, until a few days later he calls me b!tching about how it was worth over $600.
Well a deal's a deal:rockon:

[DeuceWallaces]

Sergio's mom; 5 bucks. I think I overpaid.

[DeuceWallaces]

No way bro, those toothless blowjobs are totally worth it.

Agreed, but her collar scratched up my thighs.

i haven't bought much used stuff, i love old books though. used books actually feel better than new sterile ones. i recently bought a copy of the client by john grisham for $1.

[DeuceWallaces]

I'm a sucker for used textbooks.

[hayden695]

I got a PSP for giving a kid 2 smokes at lunch in like grade 10, same with an ipod shuffle same year, same price.


Recently though I got a electric chain hoist worth about 1200 for 100. My buddys dad is the head electrician for a hospital and he just ordered new ones so they were getting rid of them. He took two home and a couple other guys took one. He was bringing them in when I started asking and offered a hundred bucks as a joke. He said sure since one was just gonna sit around. I was so shocked and stoked.

[simcjt]

xbox 360 from gamecrazy 4 years ago. Still running and never had an issue.

[airchibundo507]

I don't normally buy used goods but I was looking for a cheap road bike in Philly and prices were astronomical ($300 at least). Found a guy on craigslist who mostly "finds" old bikes and sells them locally, so I gave him $100 straight up for an old but sturdy bike with a 60" frame (i'm a pretty tall dude). Then I went out and bought two bike locks ($30 each) to make sure my property isn't stolen. Have to take those kinds of precautions living in a place with such a high crime rate. :lol

[Timmy D for MVP]

Imma keep it simple. I found this bomb ass shirt at Buy Rite, $1.50.

Wish I could find a picture or that my laptop would let me up load to photobucket... lemme keep looking...

[DatDudeD]

I almost threw my laptop when i saw how much it retailed for. Also only 500 of them have been made.

[BDiesel324]

my iPod from a friend. Only a 100 bucks, I believe he jail-broke it, this isn't an iTouch either. I could reset if I wanted to, but it doesn't bug me.

So are you going to sell it?

[DatDudeD]

So are you going to sell it?

I have been thinking about it since i bought it, but im not sure....would u ?

[shlver]

I have been thinking about it since i bought it, but im not sure....would u ?
Yes. The watch is ugly.

[DatDudeD]

Yes. The watch is ugly.

where would be the best place to sell it, ebay, craigslist or should i take it somewhere and sell it ???

[Meticode]

ouch hopefully that wasn't recent...
What's so horrible about that?

[jbot]

I got a $300 kayak for $20 Bucks, and a newish IPod Touch for the same price. Ya gotta love crackheads...they get you stuff for great prices.
:oldlol: yeah i bought a brand new lawnmower for like $50. it was worth almost $300 or so. crackhead pulled up to Lowe's and threw it in the back of his truck. it was one of the ones they have sitting out in the front.

[airchibundo507]

where would be the best place to sell it, ebay, craigslist or should i take it somewhere and sell it ???

Ebay. I don't think I'd sell valuable things on craigslist because you will have to meet up with someone you don't know. Anything could happen. I feel like rich people with genuine interest would be hitting up Ebay, too.

[airchibundo507]

Yes. The watch is ugly.

and it's enough money to buy a used car. :rockon:

[Poodle]

not me but my bro bought a Bobcat i paid most of the cost for. used one from Craigs List.

that thing has been a gold mine. we had a HUGE winter storm here where he made a killing doing parking lots, i'm talking about $400-500 for a small lot. tax free cash. he made thousands. plow trucks couldn't handle the snow, and Bobcat rentals were out of stock and they were weak ones anyways.

on top of so much general work that we would've spent thousands for to pay a company to do. plus he's got mad bobcat skills now.

I hope he gave you a set percentage of the profit from each lot.

[Poodle]

I hope he gave you a set percentage of the profit from each lot.


he actually did a lot of renovation work, extending our building, and general construction stuff that i only paid materials for. he also ended up buying a dump truck, i'm talking heavy duty type too, like the ones construction companies use to haul gravel from Craigs List for like $1500~, but it had a few issues. still tho it was a deal, and i paid for that too. we fixed most of the issues tho and it functions, its just he hasn't gotten back nearly as much for it as the Bobcat has.

its pretty even in the end since we're both benefitting.

[JohnnySic]

Used books for pennies on Amazon. Amazon is freaking great. I dont know how Barnes and Noble and Borders can stay in business. Even though I still shop at those places.
