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.

    It's a bit like part-worn tyres: who in their right mind would use them?


    Anyone who buys a secondhand car!


    By the same token, a second-hand house has second-hand electrics.


    I have been known to buy edwardian lamp fittings, but always rewired and with a new lamp-holder. Then again, I am not troubled by second-hand plug-in electrical goods such as the ancient desk fan which sits in front of me. It was old when I bought it 40-odd years ago. ?
