So the holiday season is here which means shopping season is in full swing! And everyone is looking for a deal, which sometimes means buying used/second-hand products. There is no shame in this. All I will say is DON’T BE STUPID!
Let me share with you an experience I had while using Craigslist*. I purchased a piece of furniture that I believed to be in good condition. After the purchase and during the reconstruction, I found that I had been misled in that belief. I attempted to resolve the issue, and after 3 days finally received a response. That response was full of legal retaliation, threats and blame. The seller decided that it was not their problem if I found the furniture they sold me to be faulty. All-in-all, it lead to a week and a half of headaches and stress.
So this holiday season, make sure to double- and triple-check all second hand purchases to avoid such situations!
*My problem was not a reflection of Craigslist (which I have used many times), but that of the sellers I interacted with this month.
