This is my 2nd used like new return out of maybe 10 used like new buys in total. 1st one was a leaky Moen faucet a couple of years ago.
The price difference is between the new item and the used like new is seldom worth it but on occasion , it is. Although today's delivery brings the success ratio down somewhat that I've had with used like new.

I've had great success with Klein side cutters for $5, an 18v blower for $10. Also, paid $12 for a german made Gedore red hammer and chisel set that now retails for $70 so I have had a few wins.

The inspection process is very hit/miss it seems and not well supervised in some cases.

I recall only one “bad“ experience, an airbrush that was obviously used and never cleaned, so it was plugged with dried paint.

I don’t buy “Used” much anymore because often the price is within a few dollars of new, although there’s still that occasional deal.
