With rising prices, consumers are turning to the second-hand market. For example, Leboncoin has seen its number of publications increase.
On second-hand sales sites, it is possible to find several objects: toys, furniture, clothes. In times of inflation, they are of particular interest to people wishing to track down bargains. “There are a lot of advantages, it allows me to compare while being at home”, says a man. The Leboncoin platform is one of the main beneficiaries of these new transactions. In the first quarter of 2022, ad postings increased by 16%.
Specialized resale stores are also seeing an increase in the number of customers. Their motivation is above all economic. “We still find interesting low prices”, says a woman. Discounted books and mugs, for example, attract consumers.“You go back in two hours, half of the crockery shelves, trinkets, it’s empty (…) it’s really just in time”explains Sabine Arrondelle, co-founder of The Creative Resource (Paris).
