resellers
Secondhand market vendors
Resellers are people or businesses that buy goods to sell them again rather than use them.
The term often carries a negative connotation when applied to those who snap up limited items—concert tickets, sneakers, game consoles—to flip at inflated prices: Resellers bought up all the PS5s before regular customers had a chance.
In business contexts, resellers are legitimate intermediaries who distribute products from manufacturers to end users.
