I want to reverse my previous post. There is nothing wrong with buying a second-hand couch. It occurred to me after posting that the first sofa (sofa-bed actually) that I ever owned was purchased used. That was in 1986 and I still have it in my basement. If you can find a well cared for sofa that is in considerably better shape than what it will be replacing, and save hundreds in the process compared to buying new, go for it.
