Depends on what the item is vs. what I may need and were it is found, such as finding used monitors, printers, car stereos, tvs, or home theatre components at a pawn shop, thrift store or garage/tag/flea market sale;
Or a special sale through certain websites that may offer seconds, repaired, and/or factory refurb'd items (sorry. kids...do your own research).

One corrollary: critical parts such as hard drives, optical drives, or power strips/UPI's I prefer new or new/refurb for longevity and customer satisfaction.
