Never buy these 5 things secondhand

Damage on bicycle helmets is not overtly visible. There might be a breakage deep inside that was lucky enough to have been overlooked and will explode at the sign of an accident instead of protecting you. Buying a new one is always a safe bet.

All of us want to save some dough on our car. And we think, “why not get a second hand seat instead of buying a new one?” Well, no matter how okay a used car seat looks, it has supported a lot of butts and been on emergency duty every time someone was unwell. Those filthy bacteria linger for ages.
