Only used a couple times" is an expression that literally translates to "used the fuck out of it and am selling it while I can for a few bucks before it breaks." The phrase is extremely common on Craigslist and Facebook yard sales. Oftentimes, after buying something that has "only been used a couple times," you will get maybe a couple of good uses out of it before it breaks/stops working/ignites and by the time you've gone through the hassle of scrapping it, you'll be wishing you would've just bought a friggin' new one from the start.
> "I bought a popcorn popper that was "only used a couple times" and the damn things spits out half the seeds."

> "I bought a Glock that was "only used a couple times," and the slide flew off when I shot it and nearly impaled my right eye."
