I buy almost all my clothes second hand, and most of my shoes. I've even technically bought second hand underwear. Don't cringe, it was a bra sold on eBay because it didn't fit after purchase - it had a tag still on.

Being a larger size, it's so much easier to search online than track down specific shops. That's on top of the benefit of being able to search by precise size, colour, brand, garment type etc. And second hand is cheaper of course.

The vast majority of eBay items I purchse have never even been worn, or worn once. It's amazing.

Apart from that - books, CDs, DVDs all from eBay.

Furniture via the local paper/ adverts at work. My last two mobile phones were second hand (and not from a geezer down the pub either!) as was a smoothie maker and juicer, at separate times.

People like to have the next cool thing. Then they want to sell it, but everyone else is doing so too. That's when I buy. I'm waiting with bated breath for overweight Brits to decide Alli isn't worth the side effects. I'm happy to buy their leftover tablets! Then again, it's sold as a complete package here, with weigh ins at your local pharmacy - more likely that short-cut addicts will be put off before they even buy. Still, fingers crossed
