What makes you go for brand new things even when you see a fairly used one at a cheaper rate. What would prompt you to still buy a new one even at a higher price?

I seldom buy second hand things except books because I am concerned about the hygiene or durability. If a brand new product is not very expensive, why not buy a new one.

I have never bought second hand stuff. When I can afford to go for new things I do not see any reason why I should go for things that have been used by others.

Yeah new things last longer you don't even think of fixing anything at all.

If I like certain things, I will buy them without giving them a second thought. Even if they are expensive, I need to have them because they can make me happy. Although I do not do it more often,.

As someone who used to buy second-hand phones before, I noticed that they do not last as long as they used to, especially the battery life. It is expected, anyway. Therefore, when it comes to buying a new phone, I prefer to go for a brand-new one. Aside from that, they are also covered by a warranty.

While cost is certainly a factor, there are times when I opt for purchasing new items over used ones, even at a premium.

I do not want to use anything that someone has already used. I would rather buy cheaper products than buying used item

The brand new product always comes with a longer warranty timeframe which is some sort of assurance much better than with used items.

When it comes to buying gadgets like phones and the likes, I prefer buying a brand new one. This way I know it's in the best condition ever.

Brand new things obviously last for longer than second hand products that has already started deprecating.

I buy brand new things because of quality and the happiness of having to be the first to use something. I don't like using second hand products.

The assurance that it would last longer than the fairly used ones is what would motivate to buy brand new.
