Secondhand shopping is no longer just about finding something old for less.

Exclusive Yelp data shows that searches for tailoring are up 111%, bag restoration is up 77%, refinishing services are up 82% and vintage clock repair is up a whopping 167%. In other words, people aren’t only buying secondhand—they’re investing in making those finds last.

Yelp also shared its list of the most-saved places for secondhand shopping across the country, from the Rose Bowl Flea Market in Pasadena to Uncommon Objects in Austin.

I shared all 25 on my Substack, What’s Left. Comment  and I’ll send you the full guide.

Which one have you visited—and which one should have made the list? #vintage #thrift #thriftfinds #secondhand
