How does The Second Hand Shop work?
Introduction
TSHS has been created to facilitate the buying and selling of of second hand school clothes and related school items. The store was established during lockdown when many school second hand shops are closed.
We believe that by matching buyers and sellers we can help both sides come out on top financially
