    This list seems pretty outdated. With hot deals sites out there ( I won't name the big one ) I have gotten so many things on this list for free or very little out of pocket. When I go to a garage sale now I just shake my head because I can get most of this stuff cheaper new. I guess though for the average person who is not a slick dealer this article might be helpful.
    I do agree with cars though. I haven't figured out yet how to get a new one for free.

    10. Pets: If you buy a puppy (or kitty) from a professional breeder or a pet store outlet, it can set you back anywhere from a few hundred dollars to several thousand dollars. On top of this, you'll need to anticipate additional fees and vet bills, too. Instead, adopt a pre-owned pet from your local animal shelter and get a new family member, fees, and vaccines at a substantially lower cost.

    Recycled worms aren't on the list! Otherwise, I 100% agree.
    I just wear things wrinkled.

    If you're BUYING one, I'd go with new. They're easier to train.
    That which does not kill me has made a tactical error.

    No way can i go thru and read 55 replies but for most software items, you cant legally buy it used at any rate...

    and if you do, you could be buying a disc(s) that have been hacked by someone and set up to give you a virus. BAD idea

    I actually bought a brand new Honda Civic a while back, but only because I was able to trade my 500$ minivan in for 4500$ (cash for clunkers) and get almost 1500 discount from the dealer. Making it so that out of pocket I have paid less brand new then the car is worth when it is 4 years old.
