Where to Find Second Hand Items
Finding a place to buy or trade second hand items in Nigeria is actually not far-fetched especially with new companies and brands coming out to prioritise their market in this growing industry. Although, for the fashion industry, thrift wears is quite common in Nigeria. However, for technical products and devices like phones, laptops, refrigerators, chairs etc., the industry is still growing in terms of building trusts and reach among Nigerians online.
When it comes to buying second hand products, Nigerians are very skeptical of the products being in good condition and fit for the purpose of which they are intended for. But this doesn’t utterly mean that Nigerians aren’t purchasing these second hand items.
In this article, I’ll be sharing personal information of my own knowledge on the best place where you can find second hand items online in Nigeria.
Legit Place To Find Second Hand Items Online ain Nigeria
CD Care is one of the fastest growing e-commerce website in Nigeria dealing with different products and services which are accessible to the average Nigerians. On the CD Care app or website, you can buy second hand items that are in good condition. Their products also come with a warranty to ensure that the products delivered are not in any defects and to protects their customers as well.
Aside serving as an e-commerce platform or company, they also provide the “buy small small” services to the Nigerians.
The Buy Small Small services allow Nigerians to buy products from their website or app and pay installmentally. The installment payment is ultimately determined by the buyer. The buyer can choose how to pay, when to pay and the amount to pay for each term based on the options provided on the platform.
In addition, the products are being sold at the actual market price without any form of interest or inflation in price either prior to payment or after payment. Buyers get exactly what they bargain for without any extra charges.
This makes it easier for buyers who are in need of a particular products but cannot gather the money to buy it at once.

There are no limits to the second hand items you can buy or find on CD Care app or website if they are available. This includes iPhone, Laptops, Refrigerators among many others.
Things That CD Care Provides
1. Buy Small Small Services: As earlier stated, buyers are given the option to pay installmentally for the product of their choice, and at allowed to determine the terms of payment.
2. Home Delivery: Products bought on CD Care are delivery personally by then to your preferred location or home. This comes with low charge since most of their products are delivered in bulks. So, this reduces the amount of money that would originally be required to deliver your item.

5. Affordable Price: Products bought on CD Care app or website are always affordable. Sometimes, even lower than the current market price of the product you intend to purchase.
For instance, the last power bank I bought on their website, which I also bought installmentally was sold way lesser than the current price. The current market price of the itel power bank (Power Pulse, 30,000 mAh) was 30,000 naira plus, but i got it on the app for 28,000.

6. Trust and Reliability: CD Care is publicly advertised as a trustworthy platform and has proven to be so over time. Several celebrities have decided to be the face of the brand, and they have been existing for a long time.
Other Alternatives to CD Care
The only alternative I’m aware of is jiji.ng. It has been existing for a while now, but I’ve never tried it before due to rumours of scams and that the products are being sold by random persons who just decided to put the second hand items up on the platform.
So, the reliability score for the website is quite low and I wouldn’t advise it.
Conclusion
Buying second hand items online is not a rocket science anymore because people do that a lot these days. However, where you buy your items determines whether you buy right or wrong.
As advised, use CD Care to avoid stories that touch the heart, as Nigerians would say.
