Depends on what it is.  If it's in a good condition, then why not?

old when it's materials, supplies,furniture,cars or any big items, new when it's stuff that touches your body like clothes

I shop alot at thrift stores, garage sales, flea moarkets, etc.   Usually purchase clothes new because I can't find used ones that I like or fit.  Most everything else I try and find used. Well except for groceries.  LOL

I buy almost everything new. Sometimes I get stuff at thrift stores. I do NOT like going to flea markets though. I don't like paying to get in when a lot of times there is nothing of interest for me to get.

I used to buy a lot more new, but now I always try to check eBay or Craigslist for a nice used product before I spend 3x as much for a new one.  If it's in great shape, what difference does it make if someone else owned it before I did?

I guess it depends on what you are buying.

In general, I always go with new things.  I don't trust the quality of used stuff.

I shop thrift stores all the time. There is no variety in the retail stores - and of course the prices are better.

I do both.  Mostly depends on what it is, how soon I need it, how much it costs.

I buy both new and used!  If I can find a good deal at Goodwill then great!  If I need big items like desks, bookshelves, etc then I check on craigslist.  I have gotten alot of really good deals on there!

Same here.  Right now we are looking for a used lawnmower.  We just need something that works and gets the job done.

Either! I only buy clothes when they are on sale, unless they are really cheap (like $10-15) at regular price. I've been searching online, recently, and have been looking for stores that sell used clothing because they tend to be in great condition.

I usually buy everything used. Too poor to pay retail.

It depends on what it is and how used it is.
