Vinted:
Offering: Clothes, accessories, home decor.
Whether you are based in The US or in Europe, Vinted is accessible from both regions, what I love about this app is that you can both sell and buy, as they say it was never easier to buy pre-loved and vintage fashion, the price can vary depending on the brand and the condition of the item, but you can always chat about it with the seller so you can both agree on a good deal.
I have a wide selection if you want me to share. and also different key words to use depending on what you are looking for! https://www.vinted.com/
