secondhand shop

Used goods retailer

A secondhand shop sells used goods—clothing, furniture, books, household items.

The term is interchangeable with thrift store, though secondhand shop may sound slightly more upscale or British.

Charity shops are secondhand shops run by nonprofits: I found a vintage jacket at a secondhand shop for ten dollars.
