6 Things You Should NEVER Buy Used

The top 6 things you should never buy used?  You might be surprised what is on the list. 

The weak economy has many cash-strapped consumers opting to purchase items secondhand, but buyers beware: Not all items are fit to be purchased used.

"When the economy first bottomed out, a lot of people shopped resale for the first time," says Adele Meyer, executive director of National Association of Resale Professionals.  "And once they get that first bargain, they're hooked, there's a real thrill to finding something that you get such a good buy on."  

I know several people who check out at Craigslist on a daily basis looking for deals on just about anything.  While you can find some great deals on Craigslist you have to ask yourself, do you really need all of that stuff?  Along the same lines, are you really saving when you buy used?

Don't get me wrong I love to search ebay for computer hardware,  you always run the risk that the gear will be dead or damaged during shipping but, if you can get the item at a fraction of the cost it can be worth it, especially if it's no longer in production and/or you need something specific.
