Recommendations for second hand/vintage websites?

I have been scouring ebay recently and picked up some nice second hand bits (coats and shoes mainly) and have found that I quite like buying 'preloved' clothes. Are there any other good websites for second hand or vintage fashion stuff? The only one I have really come across so far is Manifesto Woman but I'm sure there must be lots of others? Nothing too pricey, I like a bargain!

Thanks.

I really like it too. I also look on eBay and obviously charity shops. Oxfam has a good online shop, I’ve almost bought a few things on there recently.

I’ve found though that adding ‘vintage’ to a description seems to also add a zero, so I’d be slightly cautious about scoping out specific vintage clothing websites as I think they’d be pretty expensive.

Car boot sales can also be interesting but I haven’t been to one for years.

Thanks.

On my ebay watch list at the moment are several 'vintage' long sleeve tea type dresses from the 1980s which are the kind of thing my mum would have worn, but are also the kind of thing which seem to be quite fashionable now, when updated with more modern accessories, I have seen Instagrammers and the like wearing them. The problem is I'm wondering if I can carry them off as a 'vintage look' or if people will be like 'what the actual fuck?' 😂 But they are the sort of thing you also see in the charity shop so maybe I also need to go back there as well!

This website isn’t for clothes but it’s got funky retro furniture and house stuff, a similar vibe to the website you mentioned.

I honestly wear whatever I want without a moments thought about what anyone else will think. So if you like it and can rock it, but it ❤️

I've seen Etsy recommended a few times for vintage but I've not tried it myself.
Vestiare has second hand designer although I wouldn't call it vintage and I've heard very mixed reports about them.
I buy a lot of second hand but not online.
