12 Things Where You Can Save Big by Buying Used

You can save a lot by buying used rather than new. Think "used" for products that:

• Will have a short lifespan in your possession. If you expect to discard an item soon, why pay top dollar for a shiny new model?
• Likely saw limited use by their previous owners. Think of these products as "almost new" rather than "used."
• Have been refurbished by trusted manufacturers to operate like new.
• Will get dinged and dirty in your possession. Who cares about an existing scratch or two on something that you'll beat up on your own?

There are many ways to find used items -- at consignment shops specializing in used items, at retailers selling both new and used wares, and from strangers at yard sales or online. One popular source for is Craigslist.org., but beware that scammers can use the site to take advantage of people looking for deals.
