Five things you can buy for low prices



There are some stuff that can’t be bought after it’ve been used like clothes and shoes, however there are some people who prefers to do so for the sake of saving money or maybe because they does not want to spend money on thinks he is not sure if he is going to like.


Musical instruments
If you was an amateur musician you would probably face some bumps which every musician have faced, the high price of musical instruments and studio equipment like microphones, that why most of artist tend to buy from websites or stores dedicated for stuff like this, so instead of paying tons of cash for a new microphone for example, try to find a used one but should be fully functioning, at the end the talent is what makes and artist no matter what he uses.

University books
All students know that it is kind of stupid to  buy a  book that you barley going to use it for an entire  semester, so it would be a good deal if you can find used books, it is much more cheap than new ones and will do the job.

Computers and cell phones
Some people wish they could buy new a pc or a phone but he will be always shocked by the realty of prices, therefore it would not kill if you find used ones because some pcs are still pretty good the only problem is that the owner wants to sell them in order to get better ones the same for cellphone they are always running after the latest models, by the way there are some companies that renew used pcs and sell them again, of course for a lower price.

Video games consoles

Video games prices range for 500 to 700 USD like the ps3 and Xbox, but if the person was a little bit patient and waited for let’s say two years maximum, he would probably find them for a price lower by 200 USD, but unfortunately  gamers are always exited and can’t wait that long.


Cars
Who does not agree with this idea, you can get a used car more easily than buying a new one just look for a good deal that’s all.

Starfish

You may not believe it, but there are predator starfishes, although they usually attack slow moving preys or none moving like snails, and Coral reefs, surprisingly it is able to catch faster and more intelligent creatures, such as shrimps and fishes, some starfish  hunt their food by extending its twisted arms like traps, other types has microscopic pliers that hold on the skin of other passing creatures, but the strangest of them all is those that stand  on its arms to mimic a tent, and when sea creatures go under  searching for shelter the starfish falls on it preventing it from running and then of course it swallows it up ..

sea squirts

the sea squirts are one of those creatures known for their stability in one place, they feed on plankton by filtering them from water by taking in water through its mouth and then out of an opening on top of its body, but in the deep sea there is was no plankton, which led to the evolution of these sea squirts to have a bigger mouths enough for bigger preys, they hunt them by closing their mouth when they pass by.



Sea Snail


The snails are considered the slowest creature on land , but marine species of it are pretty fast, they feed on some of the tentacles of jellyfishes which are highly toxic acquiring by that the toxic cells from it, as "cone snails" they can parlays fish and sometimes humans, there are also some predators snails on land, but rare, such as "rosy wolf snail" which feeds on other snails, and also there are the "ghost slug" which lives under the ground, it is blind and feeds on worms.
