One man's junk is another man's treasure even in 2021.

One man's junk is another man's treasure even in 2021.

The old adage is still true: “One man's junk is another man's treasure even in 2021”.

Did you know that vintage decor is HUGE right now? Also other recycled home materials like reclaimed barn wood, windows, cabinets and furniture. Recommerce is simply what we used to call hand-me-downs.  It’s a new age word for digital yard sale! Alex, What are...things you would find in a thrift store for $1000.

Buying and selling previously owned goods is alive and well even during a pandemic! Instead of sprawling out your worldly possessions on your lawn or taking your life in your hands by buying something advertised on Craiglists  now resales are through an ecommerce website or online platforms such as Vinted, Depop, and Poshmark. Recommerce heavily relies on sustainability as it’s first objective and many companies are jumping on board.

“Given the increased focus on sustainability and an Instagram-fueled focus on one-of-a-kind, vintage items, it was only a matter of time before it became impossible to ignore the revenue potential of recommerce.

The trend has been building for a while now. If you have ever repainted a piece of furniture with Annie Sloan Paint or bought a gently used item on Ebay you are participating  in “recycle” culture.

Some of my favorite local businesses follow the recommerce models too!
