A second hand dealer is any person or company who carries on the business of buying, selling, exchanging or otherwise dealing in second hand goods. This is regardless of where the goods are bought, or whether they deal in other goods. Second hand goods are those that have been worn or otherwise used but are still in usable condition. Second hand items include books, furniture, cars and musical instruments. While the internet has made it easier for direct buying and selling, there are still advantages of going to a second hand dealer and being able to examine a range of items in one place before buying.
