I remember back where i came from it was pretty easy to sell stuff. Id just list it on craiglist and recieved calls on the same or the next day.

It was also easy to buy used stuff. There were pawn shops, thrift shops, ebay,etc...

Yet i see none of that here in thailand.

Facebook marketplace

 

Kaidee

Bahtsold Works.

i sell on Facebook marketplace now I don't even bother with bahtsold

Facebook  Marketplace, very easy to buy or sell.

Sanook.com

As already stated kaidee and bahtsold along with facebook marketplace. 

Generally speaking, used items are suspect, as we do, having a large family, if something has some use left in it or value, it will go to a family member... 

 

you don't see garage sales in a village. 

There are plenty of pawn shops in Thailand. Bangkok is awash with them and most towns have, at least. one.

Though, the range of items they accept may be more limited than the pawn shop back in your country of origin.

there are so many scammer of FB marketplace, once you pay it is your own risk

Face issue. It basically puts you in a lower social class here. The used goods stores are there, but out of sight.

 

I love shopping for used clothing and there was a whole street dedicated to it on the outskirts of town, but not a place most Thai's wanted to be publically embarrassed shopping at.

 

Appearances matter here more then a lot of other places.

Appearences matter a lot anywhere you might just be oblivious to it. I dont mean high end labels and stuff like that but showered, clean cloths etc. You will notice many Thais despite some having very little money are for the most part showered and presentably dressed.
