Generally, used sofas should be avoided. There are exceptions though. We got a $2,500 leather sectional for $800. It looked almost brand new, and they had to get rid of it because they had to move suddenly. Of course, I inspected it carefully first. Anyone buying used furniture should inspect very closely.

No used toothbrushes either. I actually saw them and underwear in a thrift store. That was like over 15 years ago. I'm scarred for the experience!!

I bought a great quality oak bed frame second hand, and the gentleman I bought it from gave me a used microwave oven for free. Both are still doing great two years later!

Beautiful backyard you have.

[@PracticalPersonalFinance]

Thank you!

[@Geezzzy]

Except information thank you! Can you tell me which landscaping brands to you recommend?

[@vigilfox]

You got an incredible deal on that Weber Genesis grill. Those things are tanks!

favorite used purchase was a riding mower! Cut my time to mow the lawn from 4 hours pushing to 1 hour. Only catch is spending money on maintenance and replacement parts... still cheaper than brand new though!

...and I thought I had it bad - it takes me an hour and a half to mow my half acre property with a push mower. Yours must be twice as large!

Can't emphasize the hard drive point enough!

[@PracticalPersonalFinance]

Truth!!!

[@PoEisLife]

I bought a used mattress, it sucks but its all i could afford

[@PracticalPersonalFinance]

If you managed to get one in decent shape and there aren’t any bedbugs, then you’re good!! It’s mainly the bedbug risk that scares me off.

[@corinacorina5028]

Lol I’ve bought ALL of these used. Guess I’m just 🍀

[@PracticalPersonalFinance]

Lucky lucky!

[@nikithasri7249]

Any used book websites that are good?

[@jerrypissonme]

I would think a used house would be #1.

[@Tinyzkid]
