Secondhand & recycled online stores

The lowest-impact product is usually one that already exists. Good Stores helps you find shops that sell secondhand, refurbished, or recycled-material versions of what you were about to buy new.

Secondhand, resale, and recycled — what's the difference?

Secondhand and resale stores sell items that had a previous owner: consignment clothing, vintage furniture, used books, pre-owned electronics. Refurbished covers electronics and appliances that have been tested and restored. Recycled-material shops sell new products made from reclaimed materials — recycled plastics, deadstock fabric, upcycled wood. All three keep stuff out of landfills; Good Stores includes each.

Categories that work best secondhand

• Clothing: designer resale, everyday thrift, kids' outgrown sizes.
• Electronics: certified refurbished phones, laptops, cameras, and audio gear.
• Furniture: mid-century pieces, solid-wood dressers, office chairs.
• Books and media: used books, vinyl, board games.
• Sporting goods: bikes, camping gear, ski equipment.
• Kids' gear: strollers, carriers, high chairs, toys.

Why searching on your own is frustrating

Big resale sites bury the good listings under sponsored junk, and smaller independent secondhand shops rarely rank on the first page. Good Stores solves both: it points you at trustworthy independent resellers alongside the well-known platforms, and it filters by what you're actually shopping for.
