Shopping Tips: 3 things to buy second hand
Deals The ListMaybe you need to save or maybe you just love a good deal. Depending on where you buy and the condition of the item there are three things that you should be buying second hand. Jimmy Rhoades has a list that could save you big money next time you’re out shopping.
1. Instruments
Musical instruments can be notoriously expensive. You buy a kid that guitar or you get them a keyboard and a month later they give it up. So, why buy new? You’re looking at around $160 online and you can get something similar at a Goodwill store for under $50. Check pawn shops for crazy good deals as well. Also, Musician’s Friend can get you a great price on instruments whose quality is guaranteed.
2. Furniture
Used doesn't mean that it's worn-out. People move, they become minimalists so deep discounts can be found at flea markets and apps like OfferUp and Letgo connect buyers and sellers.
3. Tools
Unless you're a pro or a hobbiest you might not have a lot of tools around, but when something haywire you're going to wish you had them. You might as well get them less expensively at a second hand store or garage sale.
