resale

Selling something again

Resale is the act of selling something previously purchased.

The resale market includes used cars, secondhand clothing, and concert tickets bought for profit.

Resale value is what an item can fetch when sold again: Toyotas hold their resale value well.

Resale shops sell secondhand goods.
