I know a lot of persons who have actually made money selling second hand items, and the best part about how they run the business is how they package their goods and services. Some actually package their products as if they where new ones. The internet has also made the work a whole lot easier, there are sites where you can register and sell your second hand products with ease and get customers easily. Here in my country, some of these sites are olx, Jiji etc.

Many people like to sell second hands items due to the lack of funds or even the quality is not a bit different from first hand item and this guarantee typically the same result. For kitchen or clothes there is even second hand clothes or kitchen elements that stays at good situation and are benefical for both the seller and buyer instead of throwing them from the window.
Typically Facebook Marketplace is not available for all the countries unfortenally but I hope it will be available for more countries as you initiate an example that it is used to sell items.

Some people sells product that are used by others or at most occasion they sell their own product. In order to make money. In my country this method of selling has become rampant because of the fact that most people might not able to afford new item or product so the look forward for this second hand items.

Still they are still some who hate buying this second hands materials they may think of it as condemn item but this is not entirely true because some of this owners may make proper use of their items and still many people love new version of an item that change their product when every new version come out like our smart phone, so most of this product might not be used for long the only may want to sell them because he need a new product not because they have a technical issues.

Most of my own products are second hand materials and I have used them for a long time now and I am still using them. Being a second hand material or I'm doesn't mean we can't sell or buy them from others.
