And then you have people like these ones:

Who claim:
>we bought this for $ 1,000
>after 2 years we are selling it already
>we are happy to sell it for $ 130

You read the details, and it turns out it is a foam piece of shit. I mean: look at the pic.

Of course the two products don't compare because one is a Double size, whereas the latter is a Queen... but which of the two is a strawberry? The latter looks like a lemon to me!

Then you find things that look like stuff my grandma would buy, and they have the same price of shit that is sold "like new".

I really don't get how to establish the quality/price ratio when it comes to this.

>$400
Don't you have IKEA there? No way anything as nasty as a second hand mattress should fetch that price.

$400 for a used matress? Im sure you can get better shit from ebay.au or a rubbish tip

I would buy used coffee grounds before buying a used mattress.

I actually bought and sleep on a used mattress. Its a double twin size, slightly smaller than a queen. I think i payed around $50 bucks for it with the box spring (no frame). It was purchased off craigslist. It was in 90% condition when i bought it and was used as a spare bedroom mattress from the prior owners. Very little use, or appeared that way. I use a covering over it under the sheets just in case though, but id do that anyway.

While most people think used mattresses are gross, not all are. I agree90% of the time they are. I wouldnt buy one that shown any signs of use or stains.

I wouldnt pay over $100 for any used mattress. Mattresses are extremely overpriced and particularly due to the possibility for financing them (yes people make payments on mattreses.

Just in case anyones wondering, im a single male but make more than above average income for my area. Im not a pauper and i do get laid on the very mattress :)
