secondhand store

Pre-owned goods retailer

A secondhand store sells used goods—clothing, furniture, books, household items—at prices below retail.

Thrift stores and consignment shops are varieties.

The appeal is both economic and environmental: I furnished my apartment from secondhand stores.

Some specialize in vintage or antique items commanding premium prices.
