I'm Gok Wan, and while Blake is on holiday, I'm taking the BULL by the HORNS, and hopefully giving you PLENTY of stuff to think about!!

The second hand market is currently ELECTRIC thanks to the great leaps of technology such as the internet, ebay, and other great sites. Second hand is OUT of the stinky old car boot and into the FUTURE, and has it ever been more exciting? That said, there are some things that NOBODY would want to buy pre-owned. There are LOADS of obvious examples; foot spas, bath robes and empty kia ora cartons, but why bore you with that? I KNOW you guys aren't that thick!!! What I'm going to bring to your attention in the next couple of blogs are things that might SEEM ok to buy second hand but are actually ICKY and NOT WORTH THE DISCOUNT!!! BUYER BEWARE!!!




NUMBER ONE!!

BATHROOM SCALES!!




bathroom scales? But Gok, they're pricey, and it's just someone else's feet!!! Think again reader! These scales hide a mountain of guilt and self loathing that NO quantity of antibacterial wipes could EVER hope to get rid of!!!

But what does that mean to me, Gok? That's just voodoo talk!

WRONG AGAIN!

It's a known fact that people who use second hand scales are more likely to get depressed, and let's face it, when was the last time you ate a slice of american style cheesecake? It was when you were sad. Worth the risk?

AVOID!!
