1. Mattress
A good memory foam mattresses are expensive, so it is clear the desire to save. But it's spine health savings.
Over time, the mattress adapts to the shape of the host's body. Things are formed depressions and bulges that create ideal conditions for the rest of the previous owner. And here at such is already uncomfortable.
In addition, the mattress in the washer does not zapihnosh. To get rid of possible dust mites, bed bugs and other unpleasant creatures, have to call the professionals at home. This may negate any savings.
2. Soft furniture
The upholstery of the new owner can watch for unexpected tenants - the same bugs, fleas, dust mites. Sofa, bought from the hands to sleep on it, often upsetting curves that are not compatible with the body.
When it comes to buying the usual upholstered furniture with a limited budget, it is necessary to consider the shops with affordable prices. But the furniture of unusual shape, which for decades has not produced - an exception. In this case, change the upholstery and enjoy his good fortune: the costs are worth it.
3. second-hand shoes
The position of the foot during walking is important. From it depends on how the load is distributed between the knee, hip, spine, and how quickly people get tired when driving.
eventually shoes adapts especially the legs and gait. Someone erased the sole from the inside of the foot, someone - from the outside. The new owner can get away with not only a pair of shoes, but also problems with the musculoskeletal system. Therefore, in particular, should not take the worn shoes for children.
4. A vacuum cleaner
The vacuum cleaner is not iPhone, people stand in line to buy the latest model. Usually it is used as long as it emits a buzz of his farewell. Or because someone brought them inexperienced mercury from crashed thermometer and I made him dangerous. Or because the equipment does not operate correctly, and switched off after five minutes of cleaning.
There are, of course, the possibility that people just buy a robot vacuum cleaner or decide overgrown dirt, so they sell the unit. But better safe than sorry.
5. Cutting kitchen appliances
Buying a hand grinder, blender, food processor, be prepared that the cutting parts will have to replace or give sharpening. Over time, the blades become dull and worse to cope with its function. Replacement is sometimes very non-budget.

However, with regard to spray and tubes, too, not everything here is unique. The man does not thrust his fingers into the bottle, but who knows how he kept it. Many products require a certain temperature. Foundation left in the summer on a sunny windowsill, may lose all of its functions, and leave open serum active ingredients.
