When shipping used goods, tariffs, which are taxes on imported goods, are generally calculated as a percentage of the item's value and collected at customs clearance in the foreign port.

Anyways enough being pedantic yes you should absolutely buy used locally to avoid these taxes.

I was gonna say, there goes my dream of buying a brand new Honda CB500F. The MSRP is ~$7000 right now. It's gonna skyrocket.

That is a bit high, but I think it might still be worth it. And Honda's are well made too, so it will last you a good while.

OK buy secondhand. Or buy junked parts and build it. It's not just eco friendly, it's also fun

Secondhand needles, on the other hand, are free. People just leave them lying about!

One of the best ways to save money is to always buy used. If you look in the right places everything is available.

Just the other day I found a used condom literally for free just laying on the street!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

Hell yeah, just rinse that off in the sink and...

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 hours ago

I don't even rinse them, just remove the knot and blow them up for your next party.

I would love to see a source for the actual claim that buying used avoids tarrifs, because all I can find says that tarrifs still apply to used products being imported.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 2 hours ago

I think its meant as in: used products already in the country
