Have you ever bought a product listed as 'damaged' because it was such a bargain? My husband was very mechanic-minded so we always bought used vehicles. It depended on how they were damaged...but if it looked to be able to repair, he'd buy it, work on it and we'd drive it ten years or longer! :-)
I've bought foods from a 'dent or damaged' section--IF it didn't bulge or have an obvious leakage.
