Using like-new items?

What do you think about using used / like-new items (such as CBs), available on sites such as this: https://www.facebook.com/groups/749714058480262/permalink/3026955394089439/

I don't use them myself, just wondering how advisable it is.

    As a supplier to a consumer (as opposed to another business) you have the statutory obligation to ensure that goods are fit for purpose. How would you ensure that?


    It's a bit like part-worn tyres: who in their right mind would use them? And surely nobody would contemplate using part-word brake pads! But any owner of a classic or vintage car would be perfectly happy to buy and fit used parts.


    So I think that it depends upon circumstances. Almost never commercially, but perhaps at home.
