Independent Reporting on the Secondhand Economy

The Secondhand Market Report covers the buying, selling, and circulation of used goods—from estate sales and thrift stores to auctions, vintage, and resale platforms, through reporting, field observation, and real-world examples. We focus on how value shifts, where inventory surfaces, and what those changes mean for sellers, collectors, and everyday shoppers.

Our Editorial Approach

The Secondhand Market Report is an independent publication focused on the movement, value, and circulation of used goods.

We cover estate sales, thrift stores, resale platforms, auctions, and vintage markets with an emphasis on real-world pricing, sourcing conditions, and market shifts as they happen.

Our reporting is grounded in firsthand experience, field observation, and industry context. We aim to document what’s changing, what’s holding steady, and what matters to people working within the secondhand economy—whether professionally or personally.
