METRO DETROIT If you haven’t wanted to do any secondhand shopping for the past year, who could blame you? Folks have been doing their best to keep their hands to themselves and stop the spread of germs for fear of contracting COVID-19.
But you’d be in the minority.
Resale, consignment, marketplace trades and garage sales are hotter than ever, according to professional retailers and private sellers alike.

Wagga residents become more aware of waste creation
Wagga Wagga City Council is encouraged to see a growing change in attitude amongst residents about what to do with their unwanted household items.
More than 2,200 residents from across Local Government Area were involved as sellers or shoppers in the Garage Sale Trail held in November 2020, with 41 individual sales and five group sales.
Council’s Environmental Education Officer Alice Kent said the Impact Report for Garage Sale Trail 2020 for Council reveals some positive trends in behaviour change among participants.
“Just by taking part, those people have become more aware of waste creation and how easy it is to accrue items you no longer or only rarely use,” Ms Kent said.
