I can't figure this one out.

What do you see but won't buy,
and if you buy it you won't use it.
If you are using it you won't know.

What am I?

That is similar to this riddle:

What is something that you do not want, but when you have one, you do not want to lose it?

Ha Ha - no I don't thank god. I can't even watch those medical surgery shows, or watch sports players get gross injuries (a la Joe Theismann)

1) A good defense attorney?
2) Your pacemaker?
