MSE Poll: What do you buy second hand?

economum

I bought a second=hand kitchen on ebay. Also second hand bath, sink and shower (the bath fitted in our hatchback car, the shower doors didn't). You get really good quality for a low price.
Although anybody who has ever bought a house that wasn't brand new will have bought these things as part of the deal.

The percentages on this poll are effectively meaningless! It is incorrectly calculated with votes divided by total votes, instead of votes divided by voters which would be much more informative. This explains why the percentages are much lower than expected. Unfortunately number of voters isn't supplied so it can't even be done manually.

Didn't notice that but you're absolutely right. Assuming they use the same methodology for all the polls it also renders meaningless the results of a a few others like the 'what have you taken from a hotel room' one.

I’ve bought second hand army boots, but I’d draw the line at pants - not a reason to be cheerful.

I think Ian Drury was quoted as saying that pants and boots were the only things he did buy new! :rotfl:

I'm late in replying, but I have 3 rescue dogs, and got a lot of things from a second hand places.
