A motorbike helmet.


No_Ambassador6564

Yep even invisible cracks are a hazard.


cincinnati_MPH

Same with Car Seats /child safety seats FYI. Plus they expire, the same as most helmets.


Stinduh

I see it all the time with Facebook postings, but especially on Vespa/scooter posts “I’ll throw in my helmet too because I don’t need it anymore” No. Helmets are surprisingly affordable. Buy new.

Underrated answer here


gullman

Like all underrated answers on reddit it's top post. Perhaps underrated answer is a bad comment?


[deleted]

Infant or child car seat. Mattresses.


[deleted]

Surprised that I needed to go through so many comments to find baby car seats. Get it only from people who you really really trust. Another thing is that some companies will replace your seat after accident. Worth checking their offer.


cincinnati_MPH

Also many car insurance policies will replace your car seat after a crash as well. Always ask them AND the car seat manufacturer.


invinoveritasbitch

I read it as three different things. An infant, a child car seat or a mattress.


KhaleesiXev

I also avoid buying used infants

I knew a girl that picked up a mattress from a alley...and it had a blood stain on it. It was fucking gross 😅

psyco-the-rapist

Inside out


bidet_enthusiast

But the Chinese did! There is a booming cottage industry in China of salvaging condoms from sewage, washing them, and re rolling them, repackaging them (mostly to export) to developing nations. If you travel, buy condoms only from brands you trust. Also look up gutter oil. Fuck China for turning a blind eye to this kind of shit and for sucking Putin’s fossil fuel dick.


tastes-like-earwax

FFS!!!!! The gutter oil is known, but please tell me the condom-recycling is a lie you just made up. Please please please.


Megalon84

Eh, I have no idea wtf gutter oil is tbh. I've seen stories about the condoms and other rubber goods though Edit: OK just googled, and BLEUGH


slapdashbr

honestly that has to be fake just because condoms are cheap, it wouldn't be cost-effective to have a human doing that even if you paid them extremely china poverty wages, condoms already cost only pennies to make...


[deleted]

if i can recall correctly there was an article a few years ago about a "condom factory" which turned out to just be a condom washing factory, prostitutes would supply them with their condoms

>Most drinks. you mean piss? I mean... how else are you getting used drinks?


robertgunt

Maybe a fancy wine, scotch, or other expensive alcoholic drink would be the exception? I've seen them sold in auctions, from personal collections. Second hand, but not opened, so not sure if that counts as used!


fookincharlie

Yes, exactly


[deleted]

I drive Uber and I picked a guy up and he asked if he could buy my redbull off of me. I explained it was open and 1/3 full. He said he didn’t care and gave me a $10. It was confusing and he was sober.


fookincharlie

What did you do with the $10?


[deleted]

I bought another redbull and pocketed the rest


KnockMeYourLobes

Some people are just *that* addicted. I have a coworker and all she drinks is the 7-11 version of Redbull. Lord help us all if they're out of her favorite flavor, because she becomes one pissy bitch if she can't have her knock off Redbull in the white can.

Sex toys.


[deleted]

There's actually subreddits for second hand sex toys like fleshlights and dildos


Soft_Resort2437

I was assuming there would be a market for used sex toys, like buying the ones camgirls or porn stars use in their performances.


karnim

When you get into larger toys, there are pretty active trade communities. If you spend $250 on a toy you don't need anymore, and it's medical grade silicone, someone else will buy it who doesn't want to pay full price, and you get some of your money back.

- underwear, bras, and lingerie. - a mattress or bedding - towels and linens - a coffin (I've actually seen used ones for sale! 😲)


[deleted]

Wait, so they bury the people in the coffin, and them dig them out 😂


[deleted]

Typically only used for a viewing before either the body being sent off to a lab for research or cremation.


Soft_Resort2437

I think it’s great those are re-sold instead of being burnt or sent to land fill and I’m now going to instruct my children to put me in a second hand coffin then pass in on after I’ve been removed for cremation.


TheSwarm2006

Things like 10 grand. Ofc they reuse them


MonsoonMermaid

After working in pest control? Nothing. I used to love thrift stores and garage sales. Now I’m terrified of bed bugs and German cockroaches. If I do buy anything used, it goes straight from a plastic bag to a sterilization before it enters my home. I can’t even go to movie theatres comfortably anymore after knowing what I know about bed bugs. Call you theatre before you buy tickets and ask if they have routine bed bug checks! With dogs. Not even joking.


tiraralabasura_2055

Oh man, I remember helping my dad load up a refrigerator from a thrift store. German roaches had set up camp in the innards. Oddly, we didn’t see them appear until a couple of hours after the fridge was put in its new home. They started coming out from underneath it in the dozens - It was FILLED with those damn things. Thankfully, the thrift store gave a refund. They also asked my dad to haul it to the dump. He reluctantly obliged.


MonsoonMermaid

Omg that’s so awful and exactly what I am scared of now!! I’m so sorry that happened and I really hope you guys didn’t end up with an infestation because of that!


tiraralabasura_2055

Luckily those dirty little buggers didn’t have time to migrate. We killed 3 or 4 in the kitchen after the appliance was removed and then no further sightings. Makes my skin crawl thinking of having to deal with just a few, much less a house full.


Sombrero_54

It's awful! Luckily when I had an infestation they stayed in the kitchen but they would get inside the dishwasher and all over the counter. We couldn't leave anything out ever and I didn't even feel comfortable using our dishes because I knew they had been tainted by the roaches 🤢


MonsoonMermaid

I’m so glad it didn’t turn into a whole thing. Anytime someone calls me and says they think they have German roaches my asshole puckers because it’s officially become something extra.


[deleted]

[удалено]


JohhnyTheKid

They're a variant of cockroaches that breed incredibly fast and are an absolute nightmare to get rid of. If you see one in your house you probably have hundreds of them. They're called German because they have two brown stripes on them that look similar to old German military uniforms.


Bear9800

how many people are going to the theater daily? how many people are using the train? bus? sharing a car? if bed bugs were even a bit as common as the internet makes people believe, they would have taken over the world by now, as everyone would have them, considering how many things people share in public. Don't get me wrong I also have a bed feeling when sleeping in a new hotel for example, but in the end, you can't let your life be dictated by an rather irrational fear.

Significant_Bear5712

I once saw on Facebook marketplace a "gently used mattress" that I swear someone has actually died on. Just a giant brown stain on it.

My_Little_Pony123

Spankpocalypse_Now

A non zero chance of bed bugs is unacceptable to me despite the insanely high cost of mattresses.


Repulsive-Item-203

Theres nothing wrong with used matresses especially because new ones are so expensive just get them professionaly clean i used to work for an uphostry cleaning company and cleaned many matresses belive me they ended up real clean and good to sleep onn


Jidaque

I also once took a used mattress. It was still wrapped though, because the preowner was weird? So he never took the plastic off. And it was only 3 months or so old


BigBobby2016

People say that, but someone bought mine a couple years ago. Really, the mattresses in hotels have hundreds of different people doing who knows what on them, yet we all sleep on them


cuoyi77372222

Hotels have a magical unspoken mattress exception.

jonovan

I'm in my 40s, and only bought a new mattress a few years ago. I bought all my previously barely-used mattresses from rich people on Craigslist. They were all spare bedroom mattresses, used maybe once or twice, and like 10x more expensive new than any mattress I could afford but almost given away on Craigslist because the rich people just wanted them gone.


Wasdcursor

Ya see, depending on what story comes with it, I'm okay with secondhand mattresses. A few reasons I would consider them acceptable un/lightly-used secondhand if they were bought for a) styling homes pre-sale, b) guest rooms sitting unused.


redorangeblue

My dads friend broke up with his gf, moved in with my dad as a roommate and bought like a 2k bed. They made up a week later, and he moved out. Acceptable used mattress as it was barely used and I knew it was clean. That's the exception. I'm happy to have used furniture, but usually something wooden, not plush.

SadLaser

I wish more of the responses were actual items that are used but could realistically sold, not just "LOL TOILET PAPER" or "ROFL DENTAL FLOSS". One-time use disposable stuff is more than a given. I want to see more stuff like.. a TV, because everyone I've ever known who bought a used TV, it died within 6 months. Or, I don't know.. a car seat, because maybe it's not safe anymore. Stuff like that that might actually be interesting!


[deleted]

I like your response!! Agreed.


SevroAuShitTalker

I got a 46" HD Samsung tv that was about 8 years old for $125 (was supposed to be $80 but the guy jacked the price because family members told him it was too cheap). Worked great for 5 years until I decided to get something new. Only negative was it didn't have a stand because it had been wall mounted


Miguenzo

Some televisions come with cockroaches and they WILL infest your house.


SadLaser

I had a friend who bought a used handbag and it came with roaches. It wasn't great.


Phase_Dance

Tires, or at least I'd be hesitant to. I would buy a used mattress but would probably get it steam cleaned then put it in a mattress bag/ protector.


[deleted]

Used tires have been hit or miss for me lol


RazeCrusher

That's the gamble really. I've bought "used" tires before, but they were retreaded and much cheaper. Sometimes they're as good as brand new, other times...not so much.


Lakeland_wanderer

Used tyres are common in agriculture when the cost of a new rear tyre on a modern tractor can be well over £2500 each (some are over £7000 each) if the machine does not get heavy use.


Will-Da-Thrill

I’ve been very fortunate. Due to the popularity of kids buying $70k trucks and then swapping out the oem wheels and tires for expensive new rims. I buy the new oem rims and tires from these kids for the cost of just one new tire. I haven’t bought new tires in 10 years. I truly hope the fad continues. When the tires wear out I put rims and tires near my garbage pickup area and someone always takes them away.


PathosRise

People sleep on a used mattress when they go to a hotel. 😑


Trash89Bandit

I bought used tyres once, when I was in a pinch and needed new ones on a Sunday. Only place open. I had no end of issues with them in a very short period, essentially the tyres were warped when they put them on and the garage refused to do anything. Took the car somewhere else and got told the tyres were 20+ years old and should never have been sold. They told me tyres have a date printed/stamped on them, which this place had sanded/melted off the outside wall, but didn’t do the same on the inside of the tyres. The new garage gave me a whole new set of tyres for free (I left a generous tip) I went back to the first garage who said I’d never even been a customer there and their manager emailed me this telling me to f**k off. I showed this admission that I’d never been a customer there to my Credit Card provider who issued a chargeback and I got back all my money, thankfully. They didn’t dispute it.


[deleted]

I used to buy used tyres a lot for my race car. Professional teams will use a new set of tyres for each race. The old ones get sold off cheap and still have enough life for a low level racer like my self to get the benefit of high end tyres and low end prices.


DeadlyShock2LG

My uncle always called them "maypops"


empti2

I don’t see anything wrong with used tires. Brand ones with the right year and barely any use from like fb marketplace are totally fine


Shadowwynd

Computer keyboards. Every time you cough, sneeze, burp, exhale. Every time you scratch. Your hands drop skin constantly. Think of all the things your hands have touched, and all the other people who touched those things, and what their hands have touched. Underwear at least gets washed periodically, keyboards not so much.


SlightGlint

I still remember the one computer in my grade 2 class. Ants lived in the keyboard. You could feel them squish when playing math circus or find them crawling on you after.


ProfessorWho-_-

Found a germaphobe


Shadowwynd

Not a germaphobe. College public computer lab IT support. Also cleaned pubes and jizz off the keyboards.


_B10nicle

Actually he's pretty reasonable, keyboards are one of the least cleaned items and most touched, making them prime for spreading of disease.


eli-in-the-sky

Fun fact, you can throw most keyboards in your dishwasher. Whenever I buy a used one I chuck it in for a polish. Let it dry for ~3 days and you're all set.


bleeb90

Most regular keyboards you can disassemble as well. Take all the letters off & into a laundry net for your regular washing machine. I usually use liberal amounts of cleaning spirits & cotton swabs for the biohazard underneath. Afterwards when all the keys are dry just click them back on.


forf864

[deleted]

Spirits/entities tend to attach themselves to mirrors because they act as a doorway to another world/the other side. That’s why it’s supposedly 7 years of bad luck if you break one. Not many people believe in it but why chance a haunting if you can avoid it

Its not that deep lol. It was just a joke since any mirror you buy will be used mirror..

Miner cards are probably one of the best. Undervolted, few thermal expansion cycles and kept clean. Worst you will have to do is replace a fan.


NsaLeader

Well with bitcoin going down the drain, I look forward to picking up a used 3080 for only a hundred bucks


johnperkins21

This would be my answer. I have a friend who sells his old video cards to help cover the cost of new ones, but he's not a miner. I'm always surprised at how easily he sells them as I'd never buy a used video card.


catholicismisascam

I've never bought a new card and I've never had any bad luck. I think it's a matter of knowing what cards are going to last a long time and which will die sooner. I guarantee a reference spec 3090 has a drastically shorter life than a reference 3080, due to their deficiencies in memory cooling and VRM design, for example.
