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.

I have no idea who the OP is or what he does or is planning on doing but, when he says he's blowing out the noise ordinance of the area where he's moving to, I can only wish for failure on his new endeavor. To be so bold to say that you are going to violate the local laws and be a bad neighbor...you **** AS A HUMAN BEING!!

That's an interesting take

But true.

Calling out the owner of the website usually doesn't come with the best of outcomes. Ryan is a pretty stand-up guy from what I've seen of my time here.
Do you think that "possibly" there was a little sarcasm mixed in his post?

Nope. Been around longer than you have.

Could have been sarcasm, but I think he was serious. What's then worst that could happen. Get banned? That's just not the way I would move into a new place. But hey, that's just me.

Even if he is serious, do you go into someone's house and insult them?

If you aren't sure if something is sarcasm, assume it is. It's the internet, not a scholarly debate

I just gave my opinion of what he said that's all. It's the internet remember. Maybe I'm a bit sensitive about noise since I dealt with a neighbor who made my life hell for several years. You're right. It was probably sarcasm.

That is an interesting take, you have been here a decade and don't know who the guy is that pays the bills for this place. Then simply insulting him by saying he "***** as a human being" is icing on the cake or maybe just hypocritical.

I should just ban you but I'll let @Ryan chime in and make that decision. . . Putting you in ghost mode would probably be a better option.
