Old furniture is better than most of what you buy today. We have a fair amount of 2nd hand furniture. If it's old enough, it's considered an antique and worth even more.

Most of my tools are 2nd hand. If they are decent tools they can be a hundred years old and just as good or often better than what you can find today. Power tools are a different story.

Lots of kids clothes handed down and from thrift stores.
