Buying used consoles: Do or Dont?

Bells · 12-18-2008, 03:11 AM

My Zazzle store is slowly walking ( near-zero advertising will do that for ya) but i already made some easy $50 there over a few months, and i was planning on taking that money and use it for my own geeky consuption

I had my eyes on getting me a PSP. Sure, right now i dont have the cash for a brand new one... maybe in a couple of months... but a used one isnt so far in the realm of possibility. I also was looking for a used one at Ebay. because, a store one, will cost me an extra 80% in taxes when it reaches the post office here... and a used one, sent as a personal parcel has a much higer chance of flying under that radar... plus, im using paypal.

So, it's a 2 part thread question... what's your experience with Garage sale like purchases? Buying used is worth it?

And what's your way to indentify a good deal?
