The world second-hand market is expected to double in the next three years and reach $350 billion in 2027. The range of products is as wide as the imagination: furniture, household and office furnishings, tableware, toys, books and records... Even a collection of vintage wedding dresses, like the one stored in a curious store in Jersey City.
