secondhand buying

Purchasing pre-owned goods

Secondhand buying is purchasing goods that have had a previous owner—clothing from thrift stores, furniture from estate sales, cars from private sellers.

The practice appeals to bargain hunters, environmentally conscious consumers, and collectors seeking vintage items.

Secondhand buying has become easier with online marketplaces like eBay and Facebook.
