Default Buying New vs. Used (Underwear)

I think it makes more financially sense to buy a car that is a couple years old. New cars lose 10-15% as soon as you drive off the lot.

What about underwear? As soon as you take it out of the package, how much would it depreciate? Although it may make more economic sense to go to Value Village and purchase used underwear, I prefer the smell of a brand new pair of tighty whiteys.

I haven't bought any used underwear before and don't plan on it no matter how much money I can save. I'll stain my own underwear thank you very much.

Do you guys prefer to buy your underwear new or used?

Awesome thread.

I always buy new. When I was a boy, I was the older brother so I never even got any hand-me-downs. Good, that'd be GROSS!

I think it depreciates around 100% once it's used. Actually, it might even have negative resale value at that point.

If you're Japanese, young, and a female, there is a large used panty market for you.

Ya know, if you're a dude and you buy a used a chick car, you're gonna get made fun of.

But, if you're a dude and you buy used chick underwear and then wear them secretly, you are the man.

Disagree. Unless it's a joke.

I didn't even know such a market existed. But apparently, it does!!???

http://www.adpost.com/ca/clothing_ac...ar__Underwear/

And apparently used Japanese girly underpants may be a harder commodity to come by than initially thought. Looks like the Japanese government banned the re-sale of sexy underpants back around 2004

As soon as someone else takes it out of the package, it depreciates 200%

It couldnt be given away IMO

You don't have to be japanese. Girlysports makes hundreds of thousands doing this every year.

I think you get more money the longer you wear them, and at different periods of the month. hehehe

Buying new underwear is the single worst financial decision one can make

The Track Girls are spreading the word that SportsWorld, in Saugus, tried to sell Jonathan Papelbon and Kevin Youkilis' used jocks on their eBay store.

Judging from how many times the Track Girls have written about SportsWorld and its Red Sox underwear sale, SportsWorld has been trying to unload a lot of dirty underwear. SportsWorld attempted to sell Mike Lowell's jock, but eBay wasn't having it. SportsWorld was more successful at selling underwear from Jason Varitek, Matt Clement, and Manny Ramirez. Therefore, undies are okay by eBay, but cups are not.
Speaking of undies, Jonathan Papelbon's are for sale--and framed!

Depends on your preferences. Do you like your new undies to have a bit of crunch?
