If you’ve found your way to the Used.ca blog then you know how this place works. Person X has something nice that they’ve tired of, so they post it super cheap online for Person Y to marvel at like it’s the hottest new thing. It’s a great system that connects people to great deals in their community and helps save the environment in one fell swoop. While we rant and rave from time to time about how great those deals are, we rarely get into the specifics. Today is different.
