I've calculated (yes, I'm that geeky) that in 2010 so far we have saved over 400 dollars by buying second-hand. That's only from two purchases so far! One was an air purifier and the other a bread maker. My favorite thing to 'find' at a second-hand sale? The thrill of the hunt. You never know what you might find and it's an amazing feeling when you do find something that you've been wanting for months.
