Talk:Used good

message: I tied to clean up this page but it's still a mess. Maybe it should be a disambiguation page, or maybe it should just be deleted/redirected to wiktionary? Ewlyahoocom 13:22, 2 February 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: It seems fine now anyway, and it's certainly a very notable topic, so deletion is out of the question. Richard001 20:14, 29 December 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Disambig or Delete?

message: I've moved the article here to remove the plural in the original page's title as per naming conventions. Richard001 05:52, 31 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: wouldn't it make more sense to call this Second Hand as this seams to be the general term its known by? (the exsisting article could be renamed with the artist of the album upfront)--Thai-flower 20:57, 9 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Going by Google results used good is by far more common, so this is probably the best name for the article Richard001 07:56, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: used good seems more accurate, however I'd support setting up a Second hand disambiguation page that links here and to the album, Second Hand (album) or Mark Heard - Second Hand, as "Second hand" is a farily commmon term in some regions. In fact, on April 14, 2007, a google search for "Used goods" returns 'about' 486,000 hits, while "Second hand goods" returns 496,000 hits and "Second Hand" -album -smoke" returns 3,400,000. (conversely, and in support of the current name, "Used clothing" retuns 788,000, "second hand clothing" returns 140,000, "Second hand car" returns 437,000, while used car returns 5,900,000. I'm also going to add the euphemism 'preloved' somewhere in the page.  JetheroTalk 18:28, 14 April 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Moved from [[used goods]]

message: *Computer as goods
:That's rather specific, perhaps something on used electronic goods in general? Richard001 07:56, 10 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: sure that would be a start. just thought this needs to be added as there are other examples for used goods given.--Thai-flower 03:10, 11 January 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Topics to add

message: "Used clothes unsuitable for sale in America or Eastern Europe may still find a buyer in Africa or another continent"
IMLE this is untrue. Long distance export is not a cheap activity and the export of low value clothing is thus pointless. A lot of clothes successfully sold in UK and US would not be worth exporting to Africa.

replies: text:  disagree, because the statement said 'may'. However, I inuitively agree with your assessment.  I previously softened/weakened the language even further a little while back, but if you have some references, you could strengthen the statement considerably. JetheroTalk 19:13, 16 April 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Markets 

message: Although I added this myself, I'm not happy with this as a reference becasue it requires a $10 payment to read the full story (although the 'fact' seems to be reiterated in the free lead-in). This is relevant quote, as published on this Salvation Army webpage, from the full text:
so if someone has something better, please provide it! If someone wants to do some digging, this might make a nice section called "For Profit vs. Charitable used clothing redistribution" JetheroTalk 19:13, 16 April 2007 (UTC)

message: Second hand video games would be a very useful section to add to this article. It could cover the legality and to a smaller extent the morality of buying and selling second hand games, as well as touching on legality of ownership (or lack of ownership) when a consumer purchases something. In the context of video games this has been widely covered by notable observers as well as sources from the actual actions of publishers and platform holders (in the case of Sony considering a ban on preowned games by making a game "register" to a console for the first and only time). I believe this section could be an educational and stimulating addition for the subject of ownership and used goods. I will work on drafting up something now, but any input anyone else has would be greatly appreciated. JayKeaton (talk) 15:34, 10 November 2008 (UTC)

message: I've just discovered that Hand me down and Hand-me-down redirect here.  However, the article at the moment doesn't mention either the term or the concept.
By looking at the page history, I have discovered that at the time the redirect was created  there was a mention of it in the lead.  This was soon expanded into a section  but it was subsequently trimmed down severely  and then removed completely.
Furthermore, the sense given is totally different from what I've always understood the term to mean.  OK, so what I've always understood is a case of a person giving something to a family member, but that's where the similarity ends.  The sense I'm referring to is that of an item of clothing passed between siblings, the younger sibling acquiring the garment when the older sibling has outgrown it.  This clearly has nothing to do with London markets in which cheaper, second-hand clothes were held on higher racks and had to be got down – the term simply refers to clothes being handed 'down' the family.  I've always interpreted Sandi Thom's song as referring to this, and still doubt that it was talking about clothes purchased second-hand from East End market stalls.
So I'm wondering if there ought to be something in the article about this concept.  What do you think? — Smjg (talk) 12:55, 28 May 2022 (UTC)
