This is a great round-up, thanks! Gotta throw in a shout-out to ThredUp: they can have a lot to wade through (I'd argue that buying Shein second-hand isn't helping anyone), but their saved search feature will notify you when new items arrive in a particular brand/size/description, and they do have returns - for a fee, but makes it easier to take the plunge on the Levi's!
That being said, I appreciate all the specific seller recommendations; we'll see if I can branch out from my current one-and-only. :)
I also like that you can sort by natural materials! In general I think they have really good sort features & have found some great deals on there, just takes a little bit of work!
I freakin adore a graph and your graph of second-hand shopping because it’s so darn accurate. My best second-hand tip is to download the Gem app (I swear I’m not sponsored though I should be!). You can search a term and it scrubs all the resale sites you mentioned AND some niche sites too. It’s how I’ve found all my favorite resale finds.
Congrats on those gorgeous, gorgeous loafers! I've purchased and sold on Poshmark before, but have been really curious about Noihsaf Bazaar for more high-end, unique pieces. Thank you for sharing soundbites from other secondhand shoppers throughout this piece; super helpful!

Yes! I was coming here to mention ThredUp too. I buy a lot of my daughter’s clothes there.
Oooh hot tip, thank you both!

I (obviously) highly recommend Noihsaf! Thank you for the note, and happy shopping xx
Retrospectvintage215 is a great shop! Their physical location is here
in Philly and it is fantastic.
Ooh I'd love to check it out in person one day (still haven't visited Philly!)
