what about shoes? Would you buy used shoes at the thrift store?

Subject: Re: Used or New? Mon Sep 01, 2008 1:19 pm

That's a tough one- maybe. I guess it depends on the shoes- if they look new and not worn maybe I would. . . depends on how much I wanted them. lol

All of the above... shoes.. those are like Tele said. I wouldn't get any pet food/ treats used. No bedding or hair stuff (bed bugs/ lice AGHH). Furniture too. It would only be from someone I know. And I'd decontaminate it regardless (unless from my folks).

maybe i should change it to what WOULD we buy.....I would get books.

Subject: Re: Used or New? Tue Sep 02, 2008 3:49 am

I adore used books. I collect realllllly old ones. Also, furniture that's not 'soft'. For example... tables, bookcases, shelves, ect.

make up! Would not buy that used

Subject: Re: Used or New? Tue Sep 02, 2008 9:01 am

I have 2 agree not make up , shoes , toothbrush , not a matress either, no personal care products or bra and panties. I mainly like 2 buy antique furniture.

I have gotten old records at the thrift store and computer games

Subject: Re: Used or New? Thu Sep 04, 2008 6:47 pm

Cd's and DVD's I've bought used. I did buy dishes used- a set of china. I'd buy used clothing- I do in fact- garage sales and thrift stores then wash it really good when I get it home.
Oh- no pillows! Guess that would fall into ista's bedding list.
No swimsuit either- ugh!
