Do you like to ever buy stuff for yourself used, or thrifted, or online at a place like Craigslist or eBay? How do you determine what you want to buy used and what you want to buy new?

I love going thrifting, and I tend to try to buy used or lightly owned when I can to save money if the item isn't something I deem necessary to buy new (like food containers or socks and things like that). I've definitely saved a lot of money buying things like CDs, some electronics, older computers, and random other things used! I don't see a real reason to spend more money if I can easily (and I enjoy the hunt sometimes!) find something at a thrift store or on eBay for cheaper. I've gotten things I used every day for my house used, like my network switches or laptop chargers for way cheaper than a brand new one by buying them on eBay. Sometimes I find something cool that I wasn't expecting to find while thrifting too, like the time I found an iPod classic and an N64 with some games at the same store!

Share your cool finds here if you have any!

Do you want to POKéMON with me?

Do you not know? Have you not heard? The Lord is an eternal God, the creator of the whole earth. He does not get tired or weary; there is no limit to his wisdom.
