Less new and more used, why?
What is meant by the circular economy of re-use?


Buying or selling second-hand items comes with several advantages for both buyers and sellers. Here’s an overview:

Advantages of Buying Second-Hand
Cost Savings   
Second-hand items are typically much cheaper than new ones, allowing buyers to save money while still obtaining functional and valuable goods.

Sustainability   
Reduces waste and supports environmental conservation by extending the lifecycle of products and minimizing landfill contributions.

Unique or Vintage Finds   
Often, second-hand markets offer rare, unique, or discontinued items that are no longer available in regular stores.

Less Depreciation   
Many products (e.g., cars, electronics) lose a significant portion of their value when bought new. Second-hand buyers avoid this initial depreciation.

Testing Quality Over Time   
Pre-owned items have often already demonstrated their durability and quality over time.

Supporting Local Economies   
Purchasing from thrift stores or local sellers supports small businesses or individual entrepreneurs.

Advantages of Selling Second-Hand
Extra Income   
Selling unused or unwanted items turns clutter into cash.

Environmentally Friendly   
Selling used items contributes to a circular economy, reducing waste and promoting recycling.

Space-Saving   
Clearing out old items creates more space in your home or office, fostering a more organized environment.

Convenience of Online Platforms   
Online marketplaces (like Lusavi.com or others) make it easier to reach buyers and sell items quickly.

Minimal Investment   
Sellers don’t need to invest in production or manufacturing; they simply resell what they already own.

Building Community Connections   
Selling locally can foster community engagement and trust.

Mutual Benefits
Economic Access : Makes goods accessible to individuals who may not afford them new. 
Sustainability Awareness : Encourages a culture of reuse and resource efficiency among buyers and sellers alike.
