    Default What's the thing that you always look for 2nd hand?

    Obviously for me lately it's been clothes. But I also always watch for cool kitchen items and household things too. How about you?

    Kitchen items and books.

    Lately for me I am looking for a vanity for my bedroom but I do look at clothes, kitchen items, knick knacks.

    I am a freak for purses(I like to carry a different one every couple of days), so I always look for name brand purses or handmade & unique ones. Of course, I always look for name brand clothes, kitchen items, blankets and books.
