Craigslist: The Local Thrift Store?
It’s impossible to leave Craigslist off our list as you can find plenty of second-hand furniture and interior design items on the site if you’re lucky. We will warn you to be careful when doing business on the site as there are a lot of people whose great ideas involve ripping off cash buyers online. Always see what you’re buying before you pay for it.
Check out Craigslist here.
Online Thrift Store Options
Our friends over at Whole People have curated a large collection of online thrift stores.

Many people seem to think that Etsy is just for homemade crafts but there’s a very big market for repurposed and refurbished furniture on the site too.
Check out Etsy here.
Facebook Marketplace
We know you once looked at the Facebook Marketplace and thought, meh. But we’d encourage you to take a longer look. In fact, it has better communication features than Craigslist and some seller rating facilities to help you make better purchasing decisions than on Craigslist too. We recently bought some excellent light fixtures on FB.

Online thrift stores like thredUP, Chairish, and eBay are also great options for those looking to add vintage and retro home decor items to their homes.
These online stores offer a wide variety of vintage and antique pieces, as well as a selection of modern items at affordable prices.
Poshmark
We shop in Poshmark all the time for clothes, so it’s not surprising that we often get furniture on here and other home decor items. In fact, we recently got some sheet sets on Poshmark that had never been used! It tends to deliver very affordable prices too.
Check out Poshmark here.
