    Cons: Ewaste and bad for the environment. Get something High quality used like on Facebook marketplace or a thrift store.

      Isn’t Facebook marketplace an awful place to buy things? The only people I know used it all got scammed.

      USA: eBay
      JP: Rakuten
      NL: Marktplaats

      There is probably a zillions better alternative in w/e country you are, if not online then flee markets or thrift stores

        Not awful. I’ve had only positive experiences. No buyer protections, but it’s hard to get scammed buying something in person from someone local, unless you get it home before realizing it’s fake/broken, or they kidnap you and lock you in their basement. There are pretty simple precautions you can take against either, not that there’s any foolproof solution…but I wouldn’t say awful.

        The best advice is just to be cautious. Obviously don’t send money before you get something and make sure it’s functional. Facebook marketplace is a good place to find deals if you know to be safe.
