What are people ok buying secondhand?
Posted by PinSuccessful7795@reddit | AskUK | View on Reddit | 168 comments
I want to set myself a little challenge and try and turn £10 into £1000 so I can pay off some debt.
Will try to do this particular challenge by thrifting / upcycling. I'm based in the UK and would love to know what kind of things recycled/ upcycled people value or are on the look for.
What are people ok buying secondhand?
Any genuine help appreciated.

Pretty much anything that isn't underpants or socks
BrilliantCandy8444@reddit
Books!
BobBobBobBobBobDave@reddit
I almost never buy new ones any more.
Not sure you could make a profit trading them though unless you were very knowledgeable it found a niche. Charity shops exist, after all.
clrthrn@reddit
A guy near my dad has a 2nd hand book shop and I have no idea how he stays open. The most he sells a book for is £2 and he buys them back. My dad buys a £2 book , reads it, and then sells it back for a quid and buys another. Rinse repeat His business model could be selling the same book 100x but that’s a lot of books to turn over to pay high street rent.
ProfessorYaffle1@reddit
If you are thinnning your own collection and have good quiality and/or collectable ones you could so OK.
I could probably make £1,000 from my books if I needed to but it would be because I have a small number of books which are quite colllectable, - out of a few thousand books
Butfor 'normal' books the profit margin on second hand books is very low and in most caes they are not going to sell particualllry quickly.
BobBobBobBobBobDave@reddit
Same. I have quite a lot of nice books I could make some money off, but once they were done, they would be gone. I don't think I could make a living out of it. (And I would rather have the books).
ProfessorYaffle1@reddit
Yes, I'd much rather have the books - it's taken me a long time to achieve the collections
DameKumquat@reddit
Out of print authors and editions do quite well if you find relevant selling groups on Facebook. And have a stash of them from your/your in-laws childhoods.

Els236@reddit
It's probably easier to list things that most people WOULDN'T buy second-hand:
- underwear and things like towels (unless packaged / guaranteed unused)
- cleaning equipment (why would you get a second-hand sponge or toilet brush?)
- food or other perishables (unless frozen and/or untouched, and in date)
everything else is pretty much fair-game in my opinion, although someone will no doubt come up with something that I'm like "yeah no, not that either" lol.
JoeDaStudd@reddit
Used underwear would definitely sell as there is a fetish around it and established market places for them (Reddit itself has a few subs).
Similarly heavily used footwear (female and male) also have a good fetish market if your willing to go down that route.
Els236@reddit
Yeah, but I don't think OP was going for that kind of thing when they made this post.
Admittedly, it might be the easiest way of making that £1000 though.
AlgerninaGump@reddit
I was doing a car boot sale before moving abroad and had used my (clean) old towels to wrap anything breakable. A woman spotted them and bought them all to use on her dog.
Els236@reddit
I didn't really consider that angle, as I wasn't considering buying those sorts of things second-hand for non-personal use.
A dog isn't going to care about a second hand towel to the level a human would.
See, I did say someone would come up with something x)
TheRealSlabsy@reddit
My ex owned a hair salon and all of the old towels used to go to the local dog kennel.

Clothes that aren't underwear.
Old free furniture that you can repurpose with paint/sanding to give it a new lease on life.
Those are the two I can think of off the top of my head that aren't Trading Card Game based.
dan_gleebals@reddit
Ercol furniture is always popular. Bought a few bits off a guy who sanded battered stuff down and refinished it as a hobby. Other 60ies stuff especially Scandinavian is worth good money.

Books, antiques and old cool stuff usually you can find them cheap and sell it higher not all ofc. Electronics assuming they work such as phones ps controllers etc.
Funky_monkey2026@reddit
Furniture such as antique wardrobes, grandfather clocks etc. Maybe a Chesterfield sofa. Not fabric stuff though.
Definitely not t-shirts and shirts, but maybe a coat if it were in good condition.
ENNLRon@reddit
If you want to pay off some debt you're probably going to be better off finding a small extra job than spending time and hoping you're going to be lucky by flipping random stuff.
For what it's worth, furniture and old clothing sell really well.

twirling_daemon@reddit
There’s very few things I won’t/don’t buy second hand. Only things I can think of right now that’s relevant are mattresses and underwear
I buy most of my clothes & footwear used, most furniture (last year bought my first new sofa and I’m mid 40’s) phones, tools etc
A lot of my tech is new/refurbed (so still used but with a warranty) because I don’t need anything top of the range or brand new and can get such good deals if you look about. Either lesser known brands, flash sales or refurbed
katherinemma987@reddit
My friend had an eBay reselling stuff from UK Tmaxx. There are buyers in the states who love UK things and there are also loads of people who are dedicated to certain brands who want the variants only available in the Uk or tk maxx. It’s not simple as they really have to stay on top of what the trending products are but she’s had to register as a small business as she hit the threshold.

Properly restored, painted with garish colours or wallpaper added to the panels.

Books! Find books in the charity shop for 50p / £1 and flip them on vinted!
Bifanarama@reddit
Have a look on Temu, Aliexpress etc. Find out what's currently selling really well, for surprisingly little, in categories that coincide closely with some online groups that you think would be the right places to advertise. Buy a few, then get AI to knock up a really hypey full-of-lies ad and post it. Spend some time getting your targetting SPOT ON. To save money holding stock, you can dropship, especially if you order stuff that is held in local depots rather than China. Depending how ethical you feel, target people who are "vulnerable" to your type of product in some way.
Timely is good. Especially a novel solution that people wouldn't normally think of. Eg, right now, ice lolly kits or chilling pillows. Or a plastic container that fits over your fan which you first pre-chill in the freezer.
Perhaps also invent some timely fake problems and then offer the solution. Eg, 93% of parents fail to spot their kids' heatstroke because they don't have THIS ESSENTIAL device to hand. Then flog a thermometer for a tenner that you bought online for 50p.
Or...
Look in local stores for stuff that's on sale for cheaper than Amazon, and which is selling well on Amazon. Drive around, buy up the stock, set up a "Fulfilled by Amazon" account, ship the stuff to Amazon, then sit back.

Maybe look at free listings for some items on Facebook and try to sell those on? People vary in morals but it may be worth pursuing if you are trying to get out of debt

You really need to become a subject expert if you’re really wanting to earn money books sell well but only if you have the right book, knowing what clothes to buy, or even DVD’s. The difference is everyone is very aware of buying a selling now so your only really buyers are people who don’t want to go out and look for it themselves. Best of luck give us all an update regardless if it is successful

allthingskerri@reddit
Furniture is pretty good bet if you have tools at home. Old tired leather stuff can be brought back to life if you have the stuff already. Even the most beat up solid wood table can be made beautiful again but that requires tool already.
If I only had £10 to begin with what I would do is find a £1 clothing sale or charity shop and get items that I could sell on vinted for £4-10 sell ten items have a minimum of £40 and then go onto higher priced items or buying bulk job lots. Or you could just rinse and repeat with that initial £10 and keep to the same lower value but decent stock that sells. This will require some planning and knowing what kind of brands you can get cheap and sell high and quality is always the most important. But that's just my opinion after running charity shops and seeing resellers start. A lot did it with clothes because there's little cost to ship them. Others I know did it with books and using fulfilled by Amazon but I think that required a little more planning and money
theModge@reddit
Furniture is a great one: someone with time and tools can add a huge amount of value. Tools only need to be hugely expensive if you're doing proper wood working repairs. Stripping and re-polishing alone can do a lot. Of course learning the skills adds to the time needed depending on your starting point.
No_Juggernaut2478@reddit
You could go to a carboot sale to buy clothes and then sell them on Vinted. A lot of people buy clothes second-hand. You could also sell video games which have a lot of value
terryjuicelawson@reddit
I have seen influencers post some particularly good wins in this respect but they aren't going to show the ones where they don't sell them. Probably takes quite an eye and the right car boot sale too, as all the ones I go to are full of shite.
JMWTurnerOverdrive@reddit
Yeah, that's my first thought. Problem is people are a lot more savvy now and it's never been easier to find out what stuff might fetch online.
You'd maybe need a van and storage space, but I reckon picking up "moving out tomorrow need rid FREE" furniture off Gumtree and the like, then reselling, maybe after a clean/lick of paint might have a bit of potential.
BambiiDextrous@reddit
Yeah but people don't like giving their stuff away to resellers and specifically try to avoid doing so, rationality be damned.
JMWTurnerOverdrive@reddit
Sometimes people just need rid in a hurry. If I'm giving something away for free, I'd prefer it goes to someone who NEEDS it for free - but if a reseller, or someone I think might be a reseller, can get there and take it, I'm not going to hold on to it on the off-chance someone else wants it.
sammycorgi@reddit
The rationality is that they'd rather give it to someone who is going to use it, rather than someone who's going to try and flip it. If a struggling mother wants my unit for her kids bedroom I would gladly prefer that over someone who's gonna paint it and sell it on vinted.

I went into a Warhammer shop once, about 30 years ago. My BIL was dropping his 7 year old son off for a workshop in a place full of really weird men who utterly stank.

Have you ever been in a position where you can only afford clothes from charity shops? I have.
Yes, the charity still gets their money but watching people wander off with armloads of stuff when you really needed something from that section is awful. (It obviously wasnt for themselves as it was a wide range of sizes)
Mr-Incy@reddit
Given the OP says they need £1000 to pay off some debt might suggest they can't afford to pay out £1000 on said debt in one go, which may mean they aren't exactly rolling in it.
DanielReddit26@reddit
It sounded more like OP needed the cash than it just being a hobby, tbf!
travellingblade@reddit
Things that sell well for me are any Apple products (old phones, iPods, AirPods, iPads, Apple TVs etc). They don’t need to work or be in perfect condition, just be honest with the listing
Also cordless power tools sell well (drills, hedge trimmers, cordless screwdrivers etc). The better the brand the more they go for
I’ve also done well on selling second hand kids bikes if you have any in the shed. There are always people looking for the next size up!
The real money is in collectible items such as trading cards and toys but that comes with risks of scammers

I've been trying to do this for the last 6 months or so. Best profits I've had have been from unexpected items.

Just go for walks around your posh neighbourhood and guarantee there’s people leaving things free for you to take from outside their front garden.
This is free stuff and you can just take it and resell on Fb marketplace, eBay or car boot it.

Best to attend in person and look through the batched lots (where random items have been put together to make a sellable lot) as often have things in which are missing from the description.
Takes time to do and you do have to have some knowledge / understand what’s collectable.

I once bought a Tudor 9ct gold women's watch for £1 in a charity shop and sold it for £100. Also found a Seiko chrono for £1 and sold that for £200. Depends where in the country you are as to what you can find, some areas are much better. You also need to really know your stuff.

I casually buy and sell on Vinted. It's my kids clothes that sell the best. I'm talking Primark and Matalan not designer.
ClockAccomplished381@reddit
I think kids clothes are a good option because in most cases the reason people are selling them is because the kids have grown out of them, not because there's anything wrong with them or they have been superseded by a better model (unlike tech items). Heck a lot of the time they may have only been worn a few times.
We couldn't be bothered and just recycle our kids old clothes but we've probably missed out on hundreds of pounds.

Aggravating_Ad5632@reddit
Washing machine drums. Get them for free by wandering around your neighbourhood, looking for dumped ones outside people's houses. Ask before dismantling!
You then buy 4 little L-shaped legs from B&Q/Wickes/wherever, bolt or weld them to the sides of the closed end of the drum, and you have an awesome firepit. Sell them on eBay - they go for around £35 to £50 or so, depending on size.
No-Recognition-7563@reddit
A very supple market is children's toys & clothes. Kids burn through clothes at a high rate as they grow, so parents go second hand because why spend £20 on a t-shirt for a 3yr old that won't fit it within a few months when you can get one just as nice for £5 from Vinted in good condition.
Same logic with toys, kids toys fall out of favour with them in a shrot space of time, they outgrow types of toys, difficulty levels of puzzles/games etc.
Buy clean stuff, or even slightly dirty stuff and clean it, list it on Vinted. Done.
PanakinMcSkywalker@reddit
Good quality appliances, TV's, guitar amplifiers, tools, especially power tools, pretty much any entertainment systems, bicycles, jewelry, anything precious metal. These are the items you can get rid of quickly.
Guitars and other instruments can be tempting but can be a minefield. Best to avoid unless you can fix them/ do setups.
Some white goods are easily repaired. But a dirty old oven cheap, new fan / heating element. A shit electric oven is £150+ brand new. A secondhand fan oven with induction hobs in good condition can fetch over £250 depending on brand. A lot of parts are generic / universal. So good money to be made. get them PAT tested if you can. Helps resale.
Always check the sold prices not asking prices, always set price higher than you wamt to leave room for negotiation.
Mysterious-One1055@reddit
Gaming PC's if you half-know what you are doing. The price of new components is through the roof so the second hand market is doing well.

GlumAd9856@reddit
Pokemon cards. Seriously - if you can find cheap sources for them (car boot sales) then people will pay well over the odds on eBay.
I mean, that's also a general point that people seem to regularly pay over the top for things on eBay. Some people literally just go to supermarkets and buy toys/gifts that are on sale and resell them for large profits on eBay as people are too lazy to hunt themselves.
d09smeehan@reddit
Same for stuff like Warhammer. You can make a decent profit just buying any bargains you come across and reselling.
And that only gets higher if you have an artistic streak and spend some time painting/basing them to a high standard. Obviously that's a lot more effort and requires some investment in paints/tools/etc, but on the plus side it's a new hobby.
The really well-done stuff sometimes goes for several-times what Games Workshop sells them for in-store (and GW doesn't sell its plastic crack for cheap).
