Question

Answer 1

no way

Answer 2

I run a full time business selling new and used clothing. It's very popular, however condition is everything. All clothes I sell are either tagged, or could be mistaken for new.

It makes sense to buy second hand as it's recycling, cheaper and you can get loads more outfits. I sell about 5 tops for the price of one new.

Technically, most clothes are second hand. Think of how many people try your new clothes on in changing rooms. As long as you wash your stuff, then I can't see a problem with it at all.

Many people associate second hand clothes with rips, stains, sweaty old men and really outdated styles! It's not the case now though- Ebay has proven otherwise. A lot of things I sell are second hand but are still selling in the shops. Second hand can just mean, bought, took the tags off, only to find it's the wrong size.

Historically, all content management technologies covering anti-virus, url filtering and intrusion detection/prevention have relied on static defences based on database look-ups or signatures recognition. This type of defence has proven to be ineffective against new, unknown or unrecognised threats and attacks. One only has to think back to Code Red, Nimda, Sassa etc. to realise this fact. It does not matter how quickly the vendors can come out with a fix, it only takes1 hour for a new virus to circle the globe many times.

There is now a new defence mechanism which is pro-active and defends against first-strike threats - PureSight is one of the first of its’ generation. These technologies use heuristics and behavioural analysis to identify what a piece of code may attempt or web page may contain. For instance, if code is attempting to open a port, read/write to a hard disk, change registry settings etc. then one can assume it is malicious and should be stopped. If a page has a high proportion of graphic images, lots of animation, data capture fields, pop-up’s etc. it is unlikely to be a business site.

The issue with these types of technologies, which have been around for a number of years, has always been the perception that they do not scale. These issues have been overcome –PureSight scans, analyses and classifies any given web page in between 4 nanoseconds & 1 millisecond. They are now serious competition to traditional methods.

Perceived wisdom in the market is that behavioural-based analysis will eventually replace database-driven solutions because:

1.For viruses they can stop first strike attacks
2.For web sites can classify any site in any language without prior knowledge
3.Can be purchased outright rather than subscription based, so your customers are not buying the product again every year
4.Are as accurate as database or signature based solutions.

PureSight content filtering was recently ranked #1 in the content filtering industry by SC Magazine, a leading trade publication

Answer 4

I buy very good vintage clothes from e-bay and the seller that I use has always had very good items.

I also brought a pair of Chanel shoes never worn for a fantastic price the original price would have needed me to spend a small fortune.

Will not buy underwear even if it is listed as new.

Answer 5

I have bought several used shirts from eBay. I only buy used clothing if the seller says it is in excellent condition.

Answer 6

I've bought a few things off eBay, both designer and non designer and luckily every things been in perfect condition! i would say though, make sure you read the descriptions and check out the photo's properly to make sure you know EXACTLY what you are buying, and you wont go far wrong!!!

Happy shopping!!!

Answer 7

Thers brand new cloths with tags still on.

Buy jackets those are really cheap, and isnt gross as to wear a t-shirt someone sweat in, or shoes someone stunk up.

Hats are a bad idea. Unless there new.

The sellers response %, and tags on the cloths is your best bet.

Good luck!

Answer 8

The clothes I buy and sell on ebay have only been worn once or just tried on, Never had anything that wasn't as described.

Answer 9

Not me, I'm not keen on the idea of not knowing where they came from - don't get me wrong I'm not a snob I'll wear second hand clothes off friends and family.

Answer 10

I've bought some things for my daughter - they were Halloween things & so had only been worn once or twice at the most. They were in pretty good condition & I got good value for my money.
Also, they were things that I couldn't have gotten here in my hometown.

Answer 11

i have bought a lot of cashmere and monsoon dresses and have been mostly delighted a couple of things didnt turn up and a couple of things were no good but on average excellent.

every time you stay in a hotel you are using sheets and towels that have been used by many many people before you
