Buying new things is always a great experience. A brand new product guarantees it's in its best condition. But if new products are so good, then why should you every buy something used? Today, we'll go over some of the best reasons to buy stuff off 3rd Party Websites, Pawn Shops, and Second Hand Stores.
For starters, they're much cheaper. Most people aren't buying used products that cost similarly to new ones, so they go for less. Take the Playstation 5 for example. While a new one will cost you $499 + tax, a used PS5 is around $290-$360. Many items also come in bundles, so that PS5 could come with two controllers, Spiderman 2, and God of War Ragnarok.
Next, you're supporting local business owners. Excluding most online stores, which are usually large international businesses, Pawn Shops and Second Hand Stores are ran by local residents. Small businesses are important for keeping money within the community and improivng the quality of life for locals, so check out some nearby stores before you hit up Ebay.
Finally, you can get instant cashback. For websites you might need to wait days to sell something. Not everyone can afford that, so a Second Hand Store can buy it off you at a reduced price. It is important to consider how desperately you need the money. If you can afford to wait, then sell it online. If you can't wait, then head to your local Pawn shop.
Hopefully you've decided to start buying stuff used at your local Second Hand Stores. And hey, you might find something new you like.
