Frequently asked questions

What can I buy second hand in South Shields?

Anything people own and no longer want — sofas, desks, bicycles and winter coats all come up. Listings are posted by private sellers in and around the city, and you arrange collection or delivery between you.

Is it free to list something in South Shields?

Yes — no listing fee, no commission, no buyer-side fee. What you agree is what you keep.

How do I arrange collection in South Shields?

You agree it directly with the other person in the messages — WishThrift does not ship, insure or hold funds, so the handover is between the two of you. Meet somewhere public where you can, and if the seller turns out to be over towards London rather than in South Shields itself, work the journey into what you offer.
