I love buying second hand.
Our water boiler is 7 years old and I'm afraid it may break anytime, so I was looking for a replacement.
Found this brand new tea maker, with temperature control and tea holder for 20 Euro including shipping (others selling it between 50 and 80).

It works great and I had my first tea this morning.

Cheap/free lumber season. Check your local Christmas tree lot, esp. at major retailers. Three years ago, I bought the lumber -- the remains of a Christmas Tree display made out of 4x6's and 2x4's -- for $100, and built an entire shed from scratch and had so much wood left over I gave the rest to a friend for free. It required 4 hours with a power drill to remove all the screws in the wood in parking lot (and multiple trips), but it was well worth the effort. You may just find they are going to throw the whole thing in the waste bin out back, talk to the manager. #bargain #tips #scavenging #lumber #diy

> the answer is *always* ebay or craigslist or forum marketplace or flea markets

I'd agree, but there seems to be a large slice of the population (at least in Canada/USA, not sure elsewhere) that is #allergic to second-hand goods -- they're actively creeped-out at the thought of touching, much less using, someone else's pre-owned things.

This attitude mostly didn't exist when I was growing up. How did we teach youngsters to be afraid of #used?
