What would you NOT buy used

[Crang]

Sleeping bags. Really no great way to clean them. And if the seller was a sweaty sleeper, now that’s just gross.

You beat me to it. Same here-

 

[FLAK]

Dental Floss, deodorant. condoms.

You only hope he was just a sweaty sleeper.

Can get a sleeping bag professionally cleaned from a few different places for not too much. I get mine cleaned and retreated every 8-10 years. They see alot of use and it restores them to like new.

Boots have been a mixed bag over the years for me. A few eBay purchases were duds. Flaws or more wear than I could see.

Bows scare me. Who knows what has been done with or to it. Guns are somewhat the same. I looked at a 629 44 mag a while back and it appeared whoever had it was wildcatting some hand loads based on scoring around the forcing cone.

Generally for used gear I am looking for something that is pretty close to what I want or need at a very attractive price. I get more annoyed buying something that isn’t quite what I wanted at a pretty full price than the ones that turned out to be lemons or more used up than I expected but at least I bought them cheap.

Thanks everyone I am going to wash my minds eye now.

Dental Floss, deodorant. condoms.

What really, condoms?? But sometimes they’re just barely used.

I'd only really buy equipment and outwear.

2nd hand prices on bows, optics and gear is just too good to pass up. With camera quality you can be pretty sure its in good nick. I think most people that sell on sites like this are a good sort too.

Definitely wouldn’t buy used toilet paper.

Really, I wouldn’t by any clothing Other than outer layers.
Bows and guns I always buy used. I am to rough on my stuff to buy new.

“Only used for two minutes”

Electronics - If you can wait six months, the new price will probably be less than current used price.

I’m not sure who would want to buy used base layers or undies. Even if they were washed....I just couldn’t do it. Not having someone else’s ball and ass sweat marinating on me is worth the extra dollars that some new stuff is gonna cost me.

While I'm not buying undies used either (why bother...) I don't really get creeped out by stuff that is washed, someone on here once made the joke chances are your significant other isn't fresh off the dealership lot...
