Buying second-hand instead of new doesn’t just save cash, it saves a whole load of energy, resources and pollution too. Selling second-hand obviously supports that. Here are the options for online second-hand markets:
- Vinted – clothing, accessories, shoes, Lego
- eBay – clothing, accessories, books, shoes, tech
- Amazon marketplace – books, tech
- Gumtree – furniture, homewares
- Nextdoor – furniture, homewares, books
- Shpock – clothing, accessories, shoes, tech, electronics
- Preloved – clothing, accessories, shoes
- Depop – clothing, accessories, shoes
- Facebook marketplace – furniture, homewares, games, toys
Online marketplaces have their risks though so make sure to read up on the types of scams that are prevalent on whichever platform you use. And what happened to in-real-life second-hand markets? If you have experience of where and when it is worth buying or selling in real life – jumble sales, flea markets, boot sales – send in your advice and we’ll put them together into an eco-tip article.
