Online second-hand shops

One concern with the rise of online thrift stores is that they are causing a decline in the quality of items donated to conventional thrift stores. Items deemed higher-value may be sold on for-profit sites, while lower value items that might not sell will be relegated to physical thrift stores, which leaves those stores with a plethora of low quality or even broken items that must be trashed.
