I’ve been trying to find more good stuff like second hand clothes, books/comics or electronics to reduce my contribution to climate change but I swear everyone here wants to price their old and damaged stuff as if it was brand new. I’ve seen people selling their gen 1 nintendo switch for 350chf, like are you fr?? I bought mine in 2017 for 250 brand new… how are you expecting people to buy it at 350 chf? and it’s not even the oled one. let’s not even talk about vintage/discontinued stuff. some people genuinely think that just because something is not sold anymore or is old it can be sold for 200+ francs. no?? I can buy refurbished retro electronics or vintage clothes from ebay imported from other countries for half the price. I hate this so much because I’d rather buy something close by so I can go pick it up myself and check if it’s the same as the pictures, if it works or if there’s any unwanted damage but some people are making me lose hope. I’ve had luck only with some physical thrift stores but they’re full of scalpers lately who resell all the good stuff on the online platforms for quadruple the price. I don’t know maybe I’m just unlucky or my interests are too niche compared to the general market but I’m sure I’m not the only one who feels like this… if you know any good second hand physical stores that actually have a lot of good cheap clothes, books and comics, cds or electronics please lmk, I don’t care in which canton it’s located, I can go everywhere (also sorry for the tone of the post but I’m genuinely mad about this, because abroad it seems to work much better on platforms such as vinted) submitted by /u/caprisun-drinker
