Second-hand Furniture
Second-hand Furniture
August 8th, 2008Dear Mr. KIA, I am a young adult who has just left his nest and I am wondering where I can buy my own household appliances, especially a refrigerator. But the thing is, I don’t have much cash or knowledge about these things. Are there any places where I can find cheap household appliances and a salesperson who wouldn’t mind educating me?

Dear MM: Mr. KIA is always glad to see the next generation wanting to stand on their own two feet but unfortunately, second hand dealers are probably not the best people to educate you on the delicate art of handling a blender or a washing machine.
Maybe you can ask your parents to tag along on your shopping expedition. Then, get them to foot the bill. You’re already accepting that you can live with secondhand junk, so why not get out of paying for it as well!
