Buying Used Brewing Stuff

Anyone here used to buy a secondhand brewing stuff? I guess it's more cheaper compared to brand new. What do you think?

 

myca,

It sounds like you may be new to brewing.  New starter equipment is fairly cheap a couple buckets an air lock, a big pot(you may already have) some tubing, bottles and a capper.  If your starting out this should hold you for a while until you get comfortable and start getting better equipment.  you can get cheap starter kits for 50-75 bucks.

 

It wouldn't bother me to buy a used glass carboy, I would do that, if I got to take a close look at it first,
don't buy anything used thats plastic.

 

I'm with Marv, plastic buckets are so cheap it isn't worth the risk in buying used...IMO.  Plastic can be scratched so easily and that's just an easy place for bacteria....I use my plastic buckets alot, but they've been mine since they were new and I know nothing's ever been tossed in them and been scratching them...
