7) What kinds of things do you buy second-hand/used?

Clothes, shoes, furniture, dishes, electronics, appliances, tools, camping / sporting gear, toys (LEGO especially), miscellaneous hardware / electronic components, any kind of durable good that could be re-used / re-purposed.

I've collected enough stereo components to have audiophile systems in my home, garage, workshop, car, and shelves full of spare parts.

When I wear fancy slacks and ties and shiny shoes to the office, it is all used. Nice v-neck sweaters, cardigans. Scrubs.

Basically the only things I buy new are food.

eta:
MUSICAL EQUIPMENT. Drums. A whole workshop full. A 1970s Ludwig Vistalite bass drum for $20 is one of my best purchases ever.
