Secondhand Shopping: Guide, Motivation, and Inspiration

Poshmark

Online thrift/consignment stores are definitely worth looking into. Similar to brick-and-mortar consignment stores, their selection usually has some sort of "pre-filtering" applied, which can make it easier to find good stuff, but generally you'll be paying a little more compared to on eBay. I've seen a lot of good stuff on TheRealReal and Poshmark, and other ones I've read good things about are Vestiaire (formerly known as Tradesy) and depop. Another interesting one to look into is 2nd Street—they have physical storefronts in some cities but their online marketplace has a big selection, especially designer/hype brands.

Buyee is a proxy service that allows you to tap into Japanese secondhand markets such as Yahoo! Japan auctions and Mercari. It's one of the simplest ways to tap into the online Japanese secondhand market. The proxy fees tend to be pretty reasonable, so give this a shot if you're feeling adventurous. /u/XavierWT wrote a guide to proxying clothes from Japan here - give it a read!
