Before I turned 30 I wouldn't dream of shopping in a thrift store. Recently I found out that most of the things that my friends wear come from thrift stores. I have found some great bargains over the last year.

I love shopping for used stuff at thrift shops and garage sales. I'm a tight-wad I guess, and the cheaper I can get something for, the better. The only things I usually buy new are electronics, since I don't trust used stuff. Although I have gotten a used camera that works great.

I buy used items on ebay and amazon all the time as long as they are in great shape. Why spead extra for something new when you can get it cheaper slightly used. :thumbsup:

I do go to resale and thrift stores regularly and spend alot of money there, when I get bored with my stuff I have a garage sale and lots of times get most of my money back.  However, these stores prices have really raised over the last couple years and now I have to watch more closely to make sure I am getting a bargain.  Recently a store called Carsons was running 70% off the markdown, I was able to get brand new, very stylish clothes, CHEAPER then I can at resale/thrift stores.  But, I love going and looking.  I have found some excellent comforters etc....no way could I buy new like I do there...so just depends on the area, my husbands job has us travel alot and the different areas have different prices so I always have to check them out when we go to new places!!

I like both new and used, though I tend to lean towards new.
Growing up, I never really had "nice, new" things...and now that I'm off on my own, I want everything to be new.
I know that's not always the best approach, and I do still shop for used items...I just prefer new.

I don't usually find things that I want at thrift stores, but I do look occasionally.  If I see something I like, I have no problems with buying something used.

Depending on the product, I'll say both.

 I often buy used products that are high enough quality to get some use out of them for awhile. I have bought a few things out of Thrift Stores before. I buy used products from Amazon.com a lot.
