Sorry, but I just couldn't do it. That list, however, is quite short. Now more than ever, the vast secondary market in this coun- try is loaded to the gills with great bargains on things that are just like new. • Time shares. Most people I know who own time shares regret having purchased them new. No wonder. They are guaranteed to lose 30 to 70 percent of their value right off the bat. If you are convinced that a time share is for you, buy it used as a resale. According to TimeSharesUSARe- sales.com -- a site that deals in the sec- ondary time share market -- you will save an average of 67 percent off the new price. • Pets. Buy a purebred puppy from a breeder in California and you will spend at least $700, plus vet bills. Adopt a previously owned puppy from the animal shelter for about $175, including spaying/neutering, vaccina- tions and fees. Savings? Oh, about 78 percent, according to SmartMoney. • Software and console games. Games for consoles, such as the Xbox 360 and Sony PlayStation, often can be purchased used for half-price at GameStop, SecondSpin.com and stores like them. Ditto for popular soft- ware. Sure, you will have to wait awhile after the product's release, but by then you will know for sure which game or program is a win- ner and which are considered losers. • Office furniture. Sadly, many startup busi- nesses fail before the sec- ond year, and many of them invested in fancy fur- niture. Never buy new office furniture. Check Craigslist or local classi- fieds to find the goods. • Sports equipment. Lots of people buy all kinds of sports equipment, from basketballs to ski out- fits and everything between. They plan to use all of it, and there it sits gathering dust. Find a Play It Again Sports consignment store in your area at http://www.PlayItAgain- Sports.com, or check out yard sales and newspaper ads for the great deals. • CDs and DVDs. Used CDs, DVDs and books are easily available. Find the latest releases in pristine con- dition at discounts of 30 percent or more at Half.com, AbeBooks.com and Web sites like them. Even if you think you cannot wait, take a look to see whether, by chance, what you want is available used. • Cars. Want to know what happens the second you drive that new car off the dealer's lot? Edmunds.com says it loses about 12 percent of its value. That is horrible. If you just financed it for 100 per- cent of its value, you are upside-down before you even can show it off to your friends. Why not let someone else take that hit by buying a late-model used car? • Jewelry. These days, when people are downsizing and liquidating in droves, you can find great bargains on previously owned fine jewel- ry at pawnshops for half- price or less. Just make sure you are dealing with a pawn- shop that has been in busi- ness for a while and has developed a good reputation in the area.
