[Titanium Media Synthesis]When you don’t need old things, it will be a pity to throw them away. In China, your best choice may be to post on information websites such as 58 Tongcheng, while in the United States, there will be more specialized second-hand goods e-commerce platforms for you to choose from.

This week, VarageSale, an e-commerce platform for second-hand goods, received $34 million in Series B investment.VarageSale users can post any message on the website, such as asking about the price, leaving a message, bargaining or posting the purchase information. At present, VarageSale has received $34 million in series B investment from institutions such as FLOODGATE, Version One Ventures, iNovia Capital, Lightspeed Venture Partners and Sequoia Capital.?

In addition, Poshmark, a trading platform for women’s second-hand clothes, received a $25 million C round investment.Poshmark charges a handling fee of 20% for each transaction on the platform, and the logistics cost of the goods is borne by the seller. At present, Poshmark has received $25 million in Series C investment, with the participation of Union Grove Venture Partners, Shea Ventures and previous investors Mayfield, Menlo Ventures, Inventus Capital and SoftTech VC.

In recent years, a number of new second-hand clothing trading websites have emerged in the United States, which are more creative and more detailed than the traditional e-commerce personal trading platforms. The well-known ones are Tradesy, Treadflip, Twice and thredUP. The common feature of these websites is that they provide a "shortcut" for users to realize their second-hand clothes. They usually adopt the consignment mode, while others sell the collected second-hand clothes to users after being selected and standardized by websites.

In addition, titanium media’s special column "New Company in Silicon Valley" once introduced the startup Gone, which is also aimed at the transaction of second-hand goods, making it as simple for users to sell second-hand goods as buying new ones. There are only a handful of recycling platforms for women’s second-hand clothes in China. Titanium media introduced such a platform at the women’s entrepreneurship forum of BT Innovation Week (for details, please refer to the previous report "Who said that beauty can only be a vase, that’s just our hobby").

In contrast, the domestic second-hand goods trading e-commerce is much more bleak. At present, Taobao, 58 Tongcheng, Jiji. com and many local portal websites mainly provide second-hand goods trading services. Because the special second-hand products can’t solve the distrust factor to a great extent, and the supervision and restriction after the product transaction are not perfect, the domestic second-hand goods transaction is still dominated by cars.
