> refer to buying pre-owned goods as "buying someone else's problem." I suppose this is true enough, in terms of risk, when you're talking about yard sales etc. But I'm perfectly comfortable buying from places that screen, test, and possibly even refurbish the incoming inventory before reselling it. I've bought many cell phones from resellers like this online, and I find that pawn and thift shops generally do a good job at this.
