Buying Used

Somehow, when we see the tag "used", it carries a connotation of inferior, but nothing could be further from the truth. Bargains are plentiful on auction sites where clothing and other items are lightly used. For example, clothing. There's nothing wrong with buying a piece of clothing that has been worn a few times. The belief that an item new with tags is unworn is false. How many times do you think that "new" garment in a department store has been tried on? And, most likely, it's been discarded to the floor by uncouth patrons with blatant disregard for the merchandise. All garments should be washed when you get them, and there's no difference to a lightly worn shirt to that which came off the rack and was tried on 30 times before you. Tremendous savings are available at online auctions and swap meets for pristine clothing sold without the tags. Also, the market for slightly used CD's is a treasure trove of savings for the consumer. Try Amazon.com for independent merchants who sell music that has played once.

In some cases, used CD's and other types are merchandise are sold as used, but are actually brand new and factory sealed with savings of 50% or greater passed along to the consumer.

In most cases with CDs, they have been played only once and are sold in mint condition, free of scratches and fingerprints.
