| Abstract |
For a longtime, secondhand goods have been seen as inferior and therefore not popular. There were basically two exceptions to this rule: antiques and used cars.
In recent years, the rather negative perception of secondhand goods has slowly changed,as shown by the success of apps such as Vinted, Depop and Wallapop, and online market places such as eBay. In this chapter the question is addressed whether the provisions in the Sale of Goods Directive pertaining to secondhand goods contribute to sustainability, or whether different or additional rules for the sale of secondhand goods need to be developed in order to strengthen sustainability. |
