Used goods have many names – secondhand, reclaimed, thrifted, pre-owned, refurbished, new-to-me, new-to-you, or my personal favorite, pre-loved.

Secondhand shopping used to signal a lower social status or an implication that one “wasn’t cool enough.” But the growth of the resale market shows that the stigma around secondhand shopping is lifting.
