A day is sometimes ample time to decide that something is
useful to you or not, but often you'll need more time to
evaluate it. I tend to buy things that are new, from
legitimate dealers, so that if I don't like it, I can return
it for a full refund (I don't buy from dealers who have a
restocking fee or don't accept returns on certain things -
like mics from Guitar Center). When I buy something that's
used, it's usually because I've had experience with it
before or I've always wanted one (often long after it's
become obsolete, therefore cheap), or it's a commodity item
that I know I'll use some time.
