Used Items to Purchase from Second-Hand Marketplaces
Everyone loves a great thrift store or a yard store, where they can purchase good-quality used goods and used items. This has become a trend, as it is a great way to save money while enjoying high-quality materials at very low rates. You get needed products at low rates and help a family or store owner by purchasing second-hand products. Everything sounds so simple here, but the fact is that the entire process is not as simple as it sounds. There are several tips and tricks available to purchase second-hand items and save a lot of money. This article will help you make the biggest risk-free savings by buying used goods and used items. We will discuss the top products to purchase and avoid from these market fairs or marketplaces.
Tumblr media
USED FURNITURE
You should not mind purchasing used furniture from marketplaces, where they are available at very low rates since they fall in the category of used items. Things like tables, chairs and others are easy to maintain, and even after being used for almost a decade, they don't experience any significant visible damage. You get what you see when purchasing furniture items from a marketplace.
SKIP SOFA SEATS AND MATTRESSES
You must always avoid using used goods and items that you can't really clean. Mattresses and sofa seats fall into this category, as after being used for a long time, they get worn out, damaged, and dirty. There are also chances of bacteria and fungi causing skin irritation and other issues. The fact about old mattresses is that they can destroy your motivation to purchase from market fares, where used items are present.
BUY BABY CLOTHES
Infant clothing is the most popular category in marketplaces where you can buy and sell second-hand products. The reason is that baby clothes are not used very often, as babies grow faster than us. This means clothes and dresses purchased for kids will be used for just a few weeks as the kids grow up. In short, these clothes are barely worn and offered at a much lower price, tagged as used items.
AVOID PURCHASING CAR SEATS AND CRIBS
You should never ignore the safety and well-being of your kids in pursuit of saving some money. This becomes more important when travelling and you must ensure that the kid is fully safe in the car. For this, you must avoid purchasing a second-hand child car seat as you just cannot believe in its protection qualities. It is always recommended to purchase a new car seat for your kid if you are planning to travel.
PURCHASE CARS AND BIKES
Vehicles season with time, and a four or five year old vehicle will be a better performer than a fresh vehicle or a second-hand vehicle that was purchased just a couple of months ago. The good thing about buying cars and bikes from second-hand market fairs is that they become available at very cost-effective rates.
AVOID PURCHASING HELMETS
Just like your kid's car seat, your helmet is also a safety accessory, and you must not compromise its quality. You must avoid using helmets from second-hand marketplaces and market fairs. Even if you know the helmet's manufacturing year, you will not know what wear and tear it has suffered or how robust it is to protect you 100%. You must not compromise on your safety and invest in a good-quality helmet if you are a regular bike user.
PURCHASE WEDDING SUPPLIES
Marketplaces and market fares experience a lot of incoming wedding supplies and accessories. A wedding is a one-time affair, and often, clothes become useless after one use. Most people put wedding attire, accessories and decoration items on sale at these market fares where you can buy and sell very easily. You have to go through the images thoroughly to trace microscopic wear and tear and other easily visible defects. You will get your wedding attire at a much lower cost by purchasing them as used goods or used items.

Do you just do a ton of, like, scouring buy/sell groups, online marketplaces (ebay? craigslist? FB marketplace?), and online or in-person antique shops?
I'm in the process of buying a house and know I have, like, no furnishings for when/if I manage to pull that off. I really love the idea of reusing older furniture (both for sustainability reasons and because anything "new" in my budget would be, like, prefab stuff that's usually more on the minimalism-side aesthetic-wise), but outside of what's listed above, I'm not even sure to how to start! (Also totally fine if you prefer to keep how you find stuff secret, thanks for reading either way. :) )
Yeah it's like 90% just Facebook marketplace. I have luck at thrift stores for decor items but not furniture, and antique stores are mostly not in the budget. Just start trawling Facebook!
And let people know that you're moving and are looking for furniture. They might not have your style, but if it's free it'll give you something to use while you look for the right thing.
Edit: it's also worth investing in moving gear. Ratchet straps, work gloves, furniture sliders, dollies, scooters, moving blankets, a shoulder dolly, etc. If you're disassembling furniture, always bring a zip lock bag to put screws and stuff in so you don't lose them.
Oh yard sales! Also good. They just don't happen in the winter where I am.

How to Build a Fabric Stash without Breaking the Bank
Fabric can be expensive but it doesn’t have to be.  If you are not stuck on Name Brands or Specialty Fabric Store Exclusives here are some ways to build your fabric stash without costing an arm and a leg. I have made many beautiful quilts using various fabrics from various supplies. And I believe that the quality is not just in the fabric you use but also in your stitch work and seams sizes. If your seams are less than a ¼” they will not hold (personally I prefer to use a ½” seam allowance). If you are not securing your thread ends, your stitch work is going to come undone. So be sure to watch these things too.
Look for fabric at your local Thrift Store (Goodwill, Value Village, etc.)
I have found some wonderful fabrics in various sizes, notions, storage items and more at my local Thrift Stores. I have even found unfinished quilt tops that I have brought home and added a backing to then quilted. Remember that almost any size fabric remnant can be added to other remnants to make some wonderful scrappy quilts so save your own remnants after making a quilt, you may be able to use it later in another quilt.
Look for local Fabric Sales held by Quilting Guilds in Your Area.
We have 2 near me every summer.One charges $2 per pound for any fabric. The second one charges $2 per yard for any fabric. Both also sell batting, notions, books, machines, tools, and more.
Look for fabric on Facebook Marketplace, Nextdoor and other sites.
I sell extra fabric on Marketplace and Nextdoor. I have also found several ladies near me selling fabric that I have purchased. And some I have purchased with shipping to me.
Look for older 100% Cotton Sheets at your local Thrift Stores.
Back in the 1800’s and early 1900’s, Quilts were not show pieces. They were real functional blankets that were made from any and all fabrics they could get, usually used clothing. I think there is no reason why we cannot still do that instead of buying expensive fabrics. I have often used clothing, sheets, curtains, and other linens to make some wonderful, usable quilts. And there are some wonderful patterns you can use for quilts in bedsheets from the 1980’s and 1990’s. Note: I always wash anything from a Thrift Store before I use it.
Watch for Fabric Sales and Coupons for Joanns, Hobby Lobby and other Fabric & Craft Stores.
I know some quilters believe that the fabric from Joanns & Hobby Lobby is poor quality but I have not found any bad fabric from these stores.  We do not have a “Quilting” store close to me and because I’m handicapped, I will not drive an hour or more just to buy expensive fabric.  If I did that, I wouldn’t be able to afford to quilt.  I will also buy fabric from Walmart but I am more careful with my selection there as most fabric at Walmart is good but I have had one or two pieces that I felt were poorer quality.
Watch for Fabric Sales and Coupons for your Local Quilt Shop.
Quilt shops will also have occasional sales and/or coupons so if you prefer to shop at these locations take notice of when they have sales. Also ask if they ever give discounts to seniors or military.
Use New or Older Clothing.
I have made a lot of beautiful Memorial Quilts from a loved one’s clothing and T-Shirt quilts. I will use jeans, work shirts, uniforms, flannel, cotton, polyester and even some knits.  These can be a little trickier to work with because they are often stretchy fabrics but they will add a wonderful texture and visual variance to your quilts.  I recently found a pair of cotton pants with Mickey Mouse on them. I fell in love with them because they were so colorful, and I love bold colors. I found several other cotton fabrics that matched the colors in the Mickey pants and made a bold colorful quilt!
Rethink Your Backing Fabric
No one ever said your quilt backing had to be all New Cotton. You can use Fleece, Flannel or Bed Sheets as well. On many occasions I have found some wonderful fleece blankets on clearance and used these for my quilt backing.  Joanns right now has a great clearance sale on Flannel fabric. The best part about using some of these is that you can get then in a wider width so you may be able to make your backing in all one piece instead of 2 or more like when using regular cotton (unless you want your backing to be in various colors/patterns).  You can also use new or older cotton bed sheets for a quilt backing. Again, you can make your quilt backing in one solid piece with a sheet!
Check the Clearance Section for Your Favorite On-Line Stores
I have several on-lines stores that I love to shop from (e-Quilter, Missouri Star, etc.) but sometimes they can be expensive so I always check the clearance section of these stores. There are times I will find some beautiful fabrics on clearance so will purchase it then look for matching piece everywhere else so I can get the best deals. Also check for on-line sales from Joanns, Hobby Lobby and other on-lines stores that sell fabric and/or sheets.
Check Out Your Local Garage, Moving and Estate Sales
I have found some of the best deals at moving and estate sales because often the seller is willing to bargain with you. I once found an estate sale where a family was selling off all their mother’s quilting and sewing items because she had passed away and none of then sewed. There was more fabric and notions than I would have used in a year so I found lots of thread and items I purchased at a great price.
Note on Batting
I know that many quilters believe that the only batting you should use is expensive cotton batting. I disagree.  There are many forms of batting. Cotton/Poly blends, Polyester, and Fleece. I love cotton batting but cotton will break down quicker than polyester and I want my quilts to last a lifetime so for most of my quilts I actually use Polyester more often than not. I have taken the backing off many older quilts to do repair work and the cotton batting inside was all balled up and a real mess.
Now when I am doing the Quilt-as-you-Go method I use a Fleece batting. The fleece can be cut into smaller pieces, fabric added to the top and then sewn back together to make wonderful quilts. And the batting doesn’t get stuck in my machine.
Shop Around for your batting to find the best deals. Sometimes Joanns has a sale on batting but the best price I have found so far has been Walmart on-line.  I can buy a 96” x 9 yard Bolt of Poly Batting for just $30 on Walmart on-line. This bolt will make 4+ quilts depending on the size of the quilt and I will have lots of left overs for smaller projects like pillows, etc.  For me the best part is that because it’s 96” wide, I don’t have to piece together my batting before I can sandwich my quilt!

So... Shapeways is going bankrupt.
This is particularly irksome for me, as that's a good 1/3rd of my monthly income, so I'm crossing my fingers while I start setting up a new store on cults. I have literally thousands of items so getting them all up is going to take ages.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
But why did this happen?
Well I'll fucking tell you what I think happened.
It was a company run on arrogance and cowardice.
Shapeways made its mark as the cafepress of 3d printing. The weight of this was their marketplace that let people sell prints directly to customers without having to do the printing themselves. At its peak, I made more from Shapeways than from my day job.
The problem was that Shapeways put zero effort into the marketplace. They'd send some of us to a con to promote the idea of 3d printing game minis a couple of times, sure, but when it came to actual site maintenance and design every suggestion and request by sellers was roundly ignored. We asked for better search and categorization options. We asked to be able to name variants in our stores. We asked for better communication from the print techs. We asked for accurate subcategories that actually reflected how customers looked for items. None of it was done.
As such, the site was baffling to customers and difficult to understand. This was made worse by Shapeways' continual renaming of their materials. So after a couple of years Shapeways announces that they're not going to do anything for the marketplace because it's underperforming, and are going to focus on B2B, and in doing so they buried the marketplace in a tiny little link on the front page.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Overnight sales plummeted. We complained again, nothing was done. We asked for a different URL that went straight to the marketplace (something that would literally cost them $80 to do) that we could direct customers to, we were ignored.
The marketplace is underperforming, so we won't put in the effort needed to make the marketplace perform. Makes perfect sense.
Prices go up. Shipping goes up substantially, and then it was a thousand little cuts. The auto-checks were altered to make it impossible to verify anything manually with any accuracy, so it became harder to design for the limitations of their printers.
The site slowed down substantially so every click had a several second pause, making shopping and maintaining frustrating and unpleasant. Shipping costs to many areas of the world became insanely high, effectively cutting off entire markets.
Want to not be Shapeways? Then remember this:
Your users know more about your site experience and their own needs than you do.
If you have a sales site, and the people selling through it say "this isn't working, we need this" then maybe you should listen to them and not just say 'you're wrong' to their faces.
Oh, and also, if goddamn Rolls-Royce comes in filing false DMCA claims over the use of the word "Phantom" in any context on your site, you don't take every item through a multiple day review for every edit and say "LOL, we can't do anything"
You take them to court for abusing the system on behalf of your user base, you fucking bootlicking cowards.
OH, AND I ALMOST FORGOT!
I HAD TO FIND OUT ABOUT THIS FROM A DM ON TWITTER.
They've sent me a check every month for half a decade and they don't even send a "We're closing shop" email.
Tumblr media
Look upon my prints, ye mighty, and despair.
If you want to help me though the meantime, here's my paypal.me and my gofundme.

Where do you find all your neat little trinkets and such? Is it just accumulated over the years, or do you use marketplace, or antique malls, commissioning stuff? I want to add more to my home, but I don't really know where to look outside of hyper specific ebay searches.
I guess, more succinctly, how do you Find Things?
Heya! Finding cool stuff is a lot about doing just enough research. I'll show you how my mind works.
Let's say I saw this cute cat in the wild. I want to buy it, maybe see if it's something fun to collect.
Tumblr media
If I use Google lens on the photo, I get some promising results - this is something that was mass-produced!
Tumblr media
Let's click on a result.
Tumblr media
I've learned something! This ceramic is called "redware" and the figure is from the 1950s. So, off to another web search.
Tumblr media
Oh! A maker name! "Shafford." This will make future searches easier. And look - there are other related cats - it looks like as various household items! (If you further researched the original cat, you'd also learn it is a tape measure and was made in Japan.)
Now, let's say you don't have a photo to start with, or just a vague idea of something you might want. Let's hop to Facebook marketplace and see if anyone is selling cute ceramic black cats.
Tumblr media
All of these results could go down their own research paths, but again, I'm using the example of the Shafford cats.
Armed with some knowledge, it takes just a few searches to find an impressive haul. Honestly, if that wasn't 5 hrs away from me, I'd buy that lot in a heartbeat, selling/gifting what I don't want.
Tumblr media
For future searches, you now have two paths:
Search for things using basic terminology to find sellers who aren't super knowledgeable. So, something like "vintage kitchen cabinet". You might luck out and find a seller who just wants the thing gone, they don't know its value, and it might be a steal for you!
Search again using the specific terms you have picked up from your research. So, "jelly cabinet." This will get you in front of listing from experts, where you are likely to find a better quality item at the current market price.
That is how I found this for my kitchen, btw.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Learn the common synonyms and mispellings. Bookcase, bookshelf. Captain's desk, secretary desk.
Click on seller stores and profiles to see related items. As you research, you will start to stumble across other items and figure out your sense of taste. You will find cool shit you never knew existed. You will learn new search terms as you pick up bits of history. You will also start stumbling across online speciality sites, or local resources, like antique shops and vintage fairs. You might learn what estate sales are, or about auctions open to the public. You start developing a habit of scouting out shops and sales when you're in a new town. You put big fairs and small swap meets on your calendar. You build relationships with contemporary artists who make things you like.
My sense of style is something I've actively been refining for decades now, and it isn't just vintage tchotchkes. I do this for clothing, for the crafting I'm into, etc. Curiosity and style go hand in hand and the best part is that your eye and research chops will only improve, even if you're just window shopping.
I hope this helps!

Re: Redbubble & Alternatives
Redbubble is doing some nonsense and I've deleted my account. I barely bothered with it anyway, was mostly there for people who've asked for specific images as posters.
Anyway in doing that I sacrificed the $4.35 that was still sitting in my earnings. They only let you cash out at $20, so rather than drum up sales and therefore make Redbubble more money, I'm gonna do what I feel is $4.35 in anti-publicity for them. 🥳
tl;dr there are new fees that hurt artist income at all sales levels. Redbubble is either looking to cut costs and raise profits for funsies, or is in serious financial trouble.
About the new fees:
Redbubble offers their services to artists by allowing artists to control their profit margin above a certain baseline manufacturing fee. This was pretty cool! There's now an additional fee that will be charged starting May 1, 2023. It is not an upfront fee that requires you to pay out of pocket, but it does directly cut your profit margin. How badly? Well...
By Redbubble's own example, if in one month you sell $300 in products that you had set at a 25% margin, you'd previously earn $75. Under the new structure, that earnings level means you pay a $28 fee, so you will now be paid $47. That $28 represents a 37% cut off what you were supposed to earn.
There's a full fee table in that link, but other highlights include a $1 fee if you earned $2 (aka 50%!) and big sellers who'd expect to take home $400 will now receive $320 (an $80 fee, 20%).
It also puts you in a weird spot that earning $1 more in a month may bump you to the next tier, causing you to actually take home less money. Make $1 more, end up losing $11. Make it make sense. 🤨
About the new tiers:
Each shop is evaluated and labeled Standard, Premium, or Pro. Premium and Pro shops are not subject to the new fees, but there's no clarity on how to move from one tier to another. Redbubble says it's under your control but it's clearly not. Many artists are reporting that they have accounts with next to no sales that have been labeled Pro, and accounts with thousands of annual sales that are labeled Standard.
Action items:
Look, I'm not gonna tell other artists that they have to close their shops, or tell buyers not to buy from Redbubble if your favorite artists have chosen to stay. What you do with the above info is up to you.
What I will say is that many artists are leaving because the new pay structure sucks. I encourage people who buy from Redbubble to expand their support to other sites.
Attrition is arguably their goal here—they know people will leave over this, and that'll probably lower their costs and lower competition for the remaining accounts. But goodwill is lost easily and they're playing a dangerous game on betting how many stay vs. leave. I'm out.
Feel free to leave your feedback on Redbubble's feedback form here, but it feels slightly like yelling into the void.
Alternatives:
tbh I don't have a good read on things. If you do know of any recommended (or unrecommended) print-on-demand sites, speak up!
I will say that as of now (April 2023), based on my research:
🟢 INPRNT sounds like a winner if your game is art prints and stickers. Does not have any wearable products like t-shirts.
🟡 Etsy + Printify/Printful might be viable? Etsy always had higher profit margins than POD marketplaces, but it's a bit more work and they also do weird things occasionally. Also has a listing fee so if you're the type to upload a ton of designs, pricey.
🔴 Teepublic is owned by Redbubble. Doesn't have the tier/new fee structure as of now but might be imminent. Have also heard their customer service sucks.
🔴 Society6 is going to charge artists shipping costs, and there's going to be a (mandatory?) subscription service launched in the fall, so that's not a winner anymore either.

Precautions to Take While Purchasing SecondHand, and Used Goods
There was a time when people considered purchasing used items taboo, but with changing times, thoughts evolved, and also the requirements, and habits of people. Now used items are sold and purchased as much as new products, and you can find an unending variety, and range of used goods, and products. They are available in almost all brands, types, and they come with great deals to match the budget precisely. 
Tumblr media
The trend of purchasing used goods is becoming more popular, as they come with several benefits, like cost saving. You also contribute to your environment by reusing or recycling the products. Transactions on used items and secondhand products save time and effort. However, there are some major safety precautions to take while purchasing used items, and goods. Some of them are discussed in this article.
CHECK FOR PRODUCT QUALITY AND INTEGRITY
The first step is to ensure that the secondhand products purchased from marketplaces are not broken, torn or damaged. Normal wear and tear in used items is accepted, but if they are severely damaged, you must avoid purchasing them altogether. They will not benefit you and seek expenditure in repair work, maintenance, etc. This is why before you buy any secondhand or used goods from any market fair, you must check the quality thoroughly and ensure that the product is in good condition.
CHECK THE MANUFACTURING YEAR
It is equally important to check the manufacturing year of the used items you purchase from the marketplace. This is considered as important as checking the product's condition. For example, if you are buying secondhand vehicles, you must be aware of government policies regarding using old vehicles. Knowing the manufacturing year will help you decide whether to purchase a particular product or not and what the best cost could be. This will also help you ascertain additional expenses like insurance, and other charges.
CROSSCHECK THE DOCUMENTS COMPLETELY
Before you buy and sell used items from a marketplace, you must confirm that all the papers are present and they are legally valid. They should also be present in the series when you buy used items. This documentation is vital for several reasons and will help you handle future problems completely. You should check the documents and get them verified by relevant authorities. While doing this, you must also check legal, and other requirements if applicable.
INSPECT MILEAGE WHILE PURCHASING SECONDHAND VEHICLES
If you are purchasing a secondhand vehicle from an online marketplace, don't forget to check its mileage and get it inspected by a specialist car mechanic. This will help reduce the operational costs of the secondhand car you are purchasing. The specialist car mechanic should inspect the engine, and other crucial parts to ensure that they are all original, and perfectly fine.
DON'T MISS THE WARRANTY AT ALL
A very important step to take while purchasing secondhand goods from a marketplace is understanding the warranty period. If the warranty is still present, you must collect the necessary documents related to it. These documents will help you in the future. A sad fact is that very few used goods and products come with warranty periods. However, some products are surely present with warranties, and you should grab them immediately if they suit your requirements.
CHECK FOR INSURANCE AS WELL
You should also check whether the product is covered by the insurance and whether the premium is paid on time or not. Apart from this, it is important to check if any previous expenses are due on the insurance or not. Don't forget to collect necessary documents-related to insurance as they will help you a lot in ascertaining any unseen future conditions.
COMPARE PRICES BEFORE PURCHASING
It is not a bad idea at all to compare the prices of products and similar options available in the marketplace. This comparison should involve checking product's condition, the manufacturing year, and other important information related to product quality, and warranties. This quick step will help you assume the cost of used items you want to purchase.

Clove Lane Residential Rental
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
OK so finally finished 😅 I mean... I could go on fiddling forever with this lot but hey, I'm happy enough with the result. A residential block in San Myshuno with an art gallery and center, a bar, a Tomarani eatery, a cafeteria, a café, a community greenhouse, a kid's play area, and a little marketplace for your Sims to make some extra cash. Oh, and a spa. 6 rental units, 5 apartments with 2 bedrooms and one bath each, unfurnished except for the bathroom and kitchen, and a townhouse, unfurnished. Download and more info under the cut.
To make the "community" venues functional you can use either the Auto Employee mod by @littlemssam or this mod by @down-in-simsland, both work great, it's up to your preference. Littlemssam's is more flexible, you can allow or disallow the NPCs as you wish, and it gives you the option to hire massage therapists and a busker (and a caterer since the apartments have a stove and a fridge, haven't tested it but if your Sim hates cooking why not?). On the other hand DISL's is specifically designed for residential rentals and will bring more Sims to your lot, and the NPCs work on a realistic schedule. And if you don't like using mods you can still hire any NPC for 100$ (I haven't tested if this mod works on residential lots).
Conversely you could add a venue to a residential unit and use Littlemssam's Live in Business mod.
I know, so many options LOL!
The art gallery includes the Street Gallery item for your painter Sims to sell their work, and the room in the back is a little community art center with an easel and a woodworking table. Sims with the wellness skill can also earn money by giving massages at the spa (I tried giving a yoga class but nobody showed up but I guess it works if your Sim invited a few people over?) There's also a sales table and a HCH food stand in the outdoor area at the back, and a greenhouse with a flower arrangement table, tough I can't promise your neighbor won't steal your crops...
I think that's about it. Oh, disclaimer: Sims are dumb, they'll order food at the diner and eat it in the bar, or if they have the neat trait they might want to clean all the dishes on the lot 🤷🏼‍♂️ I recommend disabling autonomy, but still, that's how it is... also the lot and unit names won't "stick", hope that get fixed at some point.
The lot costs 230.916$ and is 30x30, I placed it on the Waterside Warble lot, but the Old Salt House lot is the same size.
I think I must have used items from every single pack out there, and remember to enable MOO before placing. Have fun!

Where does one buy furniture in the style you have in your rat gun post? What kind of store? I love you're aesthetic and want to incorporate it into my own home if possible.
Thrift...store? Antique store? estate sale. Curb pile of garbage. facebook marketplace. craigslist. family member who is moving. friend of a friend who has a grandma who died and doesn't know what to do with all of her weird stuff. pile of unrelated items you had in your house that your brain just figured out how to fit together into a new shape. Hardware store clearance aisle.
heap of lumber and many tools and too many splinters and time.

Our beloved childcare center is doing a clothing swap fundraiser where families donate clothing and kid items and they're sold to other families to raise money for the center. This will impact my earnings from the Type A Moms Consignment Sale! But the money will go to my kids' teachers who are wonderful. I feel guilty I have to talk myself into being generous but childcare is already the single biggest line item in our budget (almost $4k/month) so it is kind of like...you want more from me?!
If I give everything available to the childcare center it will be out of my house sooner. And I already reached my goal of making $200 on fb marketplace.
