Man, I would love it if this kind of thing existed in the US. Unfortunately, shopping for used or refurbished products is increasingly seen less as something smart people do and more as something "poor people" do. I've heard more than one co-worker or family member refer to buying pre-owned goods as "buying someone else's problem."

The closest thing we have around here to a used tool store would be thrift shops that maybe have one broken drill, pawn shops with varying degrees of sketchiness, or rolling the dice on eBay.
