Shopping online secondhand from Canada
Many posts, menswear influencers, blogs, all recommend eBay for deals on good quality secondhand clothes. I haven't found that to be true in my searches. A secondhand ocbd for $30usd will have a shipping fee equal or more than the cost, or the price itself will be $80+. After conversion, this makes no sense. Grailed is mostly the same. Poshmark tends to attract low-quality clothes. Kijiji has nothing. FB marketplace nothing. Craigslist doesn't exist here. My gut tells me that options are so limited here that a secondhand market doesn't exist in the same way as it does in the States. People hang on to the clothes they buy new, for longer. Canucks (and others), set me straight. What's the deal with online secondhand shopping from Canada if you want to dress better.
Some contextual specifics:
-Specifically talking about secondhand, online clothing.
-Usually searching for business casual clothes, selvedge denim, sports coats, gyw boots.
-eBay is the main source of frustration
-In my late-thirties
I'd love to open a conversation about this, or, if it's already happened, would love to be pointed to any resources. Is it as hard as I think it is or am I not looking in the right place.
