Second-hand: beginner mistakes to avoid
Buying used is great, as long as you dodge a couple of classic traps.
Second-hand is a good idea, but some beginners get caught out. Knowing the traps ahead saves you time and money.
Check, compare, don't rush
The first mistake is buying on impulse without checking the item's real condition. The second is paying almost the new price second-hand because you didn't compare.
Ask the seller questions, request extra photos and favour safe exchanges. A little patience prevents most bad surprises.
