  Buying used has become a huge pain. The platforms are absolutely full of scammers and time wasters, the items are either overpriced or immediately purchased by flippers, and they often aren’t very accessible without owning a car. I prefer to just buy new, where I can have stuff delivered, and then use it until it’s completely worn out or obsolete.

    Depnends on the item I suppose - half of my small board game collection (100+ titles) is used games bought from local eBay equivalent. And almost all of them were in perfect condition but half the price.

      Same! I paid 5-10€ each and slowly acquired most of the Spiel des Jahres winners. You can often find near-new Apple products and great tools at a steep discount too.

    In Germany (eBay) Kleinanzeigen works rather well. People are still people, but at least the platform is good.
